The Macbeths seem to have it all - but a mysterious prophecy soon leads to treachery, murder and the disintegration of everything they hold dear. Ambition has never been more bloody.
Shakespeare’s brutal tragedy is given new life in this haunting, break-neck adaptation, retaining the intensity and intrigue of Macbeth in 80 high-octane minutes, with two award winning actors brilliantly and boldly bringing more than 20 roles to life. This innovative and entertaining performance is presented by Out of Chaos, in partnership with ATG Creative Learning, specifically for schools audiences.

Sunderland Empire
Vesta Tilley laid the foundation stone of what is now the Sunderland Empire on 29 September 1906 and took to the stage on 1 July 1907 to officially declare the theatre open. Masterminded by two of the contemporary heads of British theatre, Edward Moss and Oswald Stoll, the Sunderland Empire Theatre has undergone many changes since it opened but remains the North East’s premier entertainment venue.
