Story
Spun together with a blend of Indian music and movement, this production from one of the UK’s leading cross-cultural theatre companies sees Shakespeare’s tragedy re-imagined in a contemporary context as a brew of treachery and ambition sets an Asian family on a road to destruction. The production sees the engineers of Macbeth’s downfall depicted as three outrageous hijras who cook up an explosive brew of treachery, ambition and passion, showing a strand of Indian society little-known in the west.
