Macbheatha, White Stag Theatre Company

By William Shakespeare translated in Gaelic by Ian MacDonald with David Walker and Catriona Lexy Campbell.
Directed by Liz Carruthers. Visual design by Jamie Wardrop.

A vision of a dystopian, superstitious tribal Scotland. The Macbeth couple rise to power by brutal bloody means leading to their inevitable downfall hold up in their bunker. Suitable for non-Gaelic Speakers.

 “This powerful new one-hour adaptation, translated into richly atmospheric Gaelic.  A two-person format throws fierce emphasis onto the blighted and deteriorating relationship between Macbheatha and his wife.   Superb, passionate and driven performances, sexually charged and blazing with ambition.”  – ****Scotsman
