Dunsinane
Visiting Company
The National Theatre of Scotland, in association with Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh presents the Royal Shakespeare Company‘s critically-acclaimed production of Dunsinane. Written by David Greig, this exhilarating play is a vision of one man’s attempt to restore peace in a country ravaged by war.
Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, an English army has swept through the landscape, killed the tyrant and taken the seat of power. Attempting to restore peace and put in place a new ruler, the commanding officer is beset by a brutal guerrilla uprising and simmering discontent amongst his own inexperienced troops. Struggling to grasp the alien customs and politics of this harsh country, he finds himself drawn towards the tyrant’s powerful widow in search of someone to share his burden of responsibility. Increasingly isolated from his own men and Scottish allies alike, his efforts to restore order appear futile as the situation spins out of control.
“A triumph… Roxana Silbert’s supple production is beautifully acted… engaged, articulate, provocative entertainment.”
The Times
“Gripping first-rate drama from one of the country’s most talented and versatile playwrights.”
