Calling all English GCSE students and literature lovers! Dickens Theatre Company present the Bard’s bloodiest tragedy. This unique adaptation of the ‘Scottish Play’ arrives at the Majestic Theatre in March 2026. With the infamous Porter acting as narrator, an ensemble of 6 actors creates a cauldron of characters, as Macbeth & Lady Macbeth make their perilous descent towards Hell. Set against a back-drop of wars, witchery and treasonous plotting, Shakespeare’s ambitious Macbeth remains ominously relevant in the 21st Century.
“What’s done cannot be undone!”
Dickens Theatre Company has been successfully staging classic English literature texts for the UK stage since 2015. As part of DTC’s ‘Revision on Tour’, this accessible Macbeth entertains and educates to the bitter end.
