Shakespeare’s Tragedy Won’t Cause Trouble At Theatre
Macbeth: Toil and Trouble
South Shields Customs House

Hubble
bubble, toil and trouble…
The
award-winning 1623 Theatre Company comes to The Customs House for the first
time this month with a fast-moving adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy,
Macbeth.
The 60-minute
production provides a stripped-back and innovative insight into one of the best-known
stories ever staged, charting the journey of theatre’s arguably most deadly duo,
Lord and Lady Macbeth.
Jamie
Brown, 1623’s Learning Co-ordinator, said: “In Macbeth: Toil and Trouble,
the microscope zooms in on the turbulent dynamics of the central relationship
between the Macbeths, mapping their captivating journey from the initial
prophecy proclaiming that Macbeth will become King, through to the untimely
demise of Lady M. Exploring that pivotal relationship – the driving force
behind the play – has proven a powerful tool in achieving a greater
understanding and enjoyment of the play as a whole. Whilst doing so, the piece
also encapsulates all of the wider, integral events of this infamous tale of ambition,
bloodshed and greed, woven together by the bewitching dark presence of the
three weird sisters.”
The
adaptation has been praised for its pace and clarity and, as such, has been
booked time and time again across the UK as both a learning tool, as well as
standing alone as piece of enjoyable theatre for the general public, young and
old.
Macbeth:
Toil and Trouble comes to The Customs House on Wednesday 16th October,
with performances at 11am and 1pm.
Tickets,
priced from £5, are available from the box office on (0191) 454 1234 or online
