The Manoel Theatre’s Learning and Participation Programme, Toi Toi, is presenting a new and exciting production of Macbeth on Friday, October 18, at 7.30pm at St Agatha’s Auditorium in Rabat.
Adapted and directed by Philip Leone Ganado, the production forms part of the TOI TOI Classics outreach project, bringing the immediacy of Shakespeare’s language to life.
The classic story of ambition, power and consequence remains as relevant today as it has ever been, its supernatural elements remain as dangerously alluring and its warnings on the nature of evil as timely. It is also a deeply psychological play, charting the unravelling of two people who allow themselves to be seduced into acts of unspeakable horror.
This adaptation seeks to tap into this horror, tracking Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the depths of their darkness and sticking close as the walls begin to close in and their downfall unfolds.
It features a cast of characters played by a talented troupe of actors including Anton Saliba as Macbeth and Michela Farrugia as Lady Macbeth with Joseph Zammit, Alex Weenink, Kelly Peplow and Katrina Lupi sharing all the other parts.
This Macbeth, certified 13+, is being staged for only one public performance on October 18. It will also be shown to schools from October 16 to 18 at 10am. Booking is from www.teatrumanoel.mt.
