Macbeth, Feelgood Theatre Productions, Heaton Park, Manchester, 15th July to 2nd August 2009
Manchester’s own site-specific, open air theatre company, Feelgood Theatre Productions, is back in Heaton Park this July with a heart-stopping promenade production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
From 15th July until 2nd August (No performances on 19th, 20th or 27th July) a diverse cast of artists, including members of Zimbabwean company Theatre Under Fire, will be fusing text, a capella singing, drumming and dance into a dynamic and thought-provoking 21st Century production.
This is an amazing theatre production that takes place out of doors, in the park itself. To find out more about the performance visit the Heaton Park website.
The company that brought theatre into Heaton Park, and has enthralled audiences for 15 years with productions such as Dracula-the Blood Count, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Blue Remembered Hills, Romeo and Juliet, Three Musketeers, Arthur-King of the Britons, Robin Hood, the Wizard of Oz and Toad on roller blades (you missed that??) are ready to delight, enchant and amaze once more.
A pulsating heartbeat of African rhythms leads you deep into the woods to witness the witches’ supernatural prophecy and the descent of the Macbeths into madness, as they embark on their crazed journey of ambition and murder. Macbeth is directed by Caroline Clegg.
