Dark arts, Part 1, Macbeth

From its entrancing first scene to the final fulfilment of the witches’ prophecy, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most powerful tragedies – a compelling story of one man’s ruthless ambition to obtain the crown of Scotland by the foulest means necessary. Macbeth boasts an array of unpleasant ingredients – regicide; war; witchcraft and madness – that jostle in a simmering cauldron packing punches and leaving the palette tingling and bruised. Can you hack the heat? Step into the kitchen and find out.

This is part I of a two-part course on villainy, power and magic. Part II, The Tempest, is sold separately and will run in the Spring; Macbeth signees will be offered right of first refusal.

This class runs over 4 weeks; Fridays  (10.30 am – 12.30) via Zoom; £260
