Calling all English GCSE students, teachers, and literature lovers! Dickens Theatre Company proudly presents Macbeth, Shakespeare’s bloodiest and most thrilling tragedy, arriving at Darlington Hippodrome in February 2026.
In this unique adaptation, the infamous Porter takes on the role of narrator, guiding audiences through the tangled web of ambition, betrayal, and dark magic.
An ensemble of just six actors conjures a cauldron of characters, bringing the Scottish Play vividly to life. Set against a backdrop of war, witchery, and treason, Macbeth remains chillingly relevant in the 21st century.
“What’s done cannot be undone!”
As part of DTC’s highly acclaimed Revision on Tour (alongside Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde), this accessible Macbeth entertains and educates to the bitter end.
★★★★★ “Utterly enthralling!” — Fairy Powered Productions ★★★★★ “Without doubt this combines fun, education and history.” — Apple Radio
“If you are studying Macbeth at GCSE… it all starts with this show. A revelation for my English students.” — Head of English, Crompton House School
Adapted & directed by Ryan Philpott
