CandyKing Productions and Celtic Kiss Productions are delighted to be returning to the Greenwich Playhouse to present Macbeth.

Eamon McDonnell's adaptation moves the action to the Ancient African civilization that was the Benin Empire -giving this famous tale an original and engaging twist. This production delivers, both visually and culturally, a very exciting performance, fusing the original violent tale with a new setting and context - bringing the vibrancy of Africa to the stage.

Macbeth is Shakespeare's most dramatic tragedy - a brilliant combination of murder, spiritualism and violence - a play so brutal many believe it to be cursed.
Macbeth is a frightening, heady mix of betrayal, desire and murder all fueled by excessive ambition.

CandyKing and Celtic Kiss productions have staged four plays previously at the Greenwich Playhouse - all to excellent reviews and sell-out audiences. In this fifth production, they have joined together to create an exciting vision of a favourite classic.
