Macbeth 馬克白
/Macbeth 馬克白
Presented in Cantonese
March 16-20, 2016
Hong Kong City Hall Theatre
Tang Shu-wing Theatre Studio, Hong Kong
Following Tang's minimalist, metatheatrical black-box physical theatre adaptation of Titus Andronicus (which also toured to the London Globe), Tang adapts Macbeth in a metatheatrical narrative in which a couple dreams that they enter the world of Macbeth in ancient China. They become Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, and once they wake up from the dream, they reflect on contemporary politics. This production is stylized.
