Calling all English GCSE students, teachers, and literature lovers! Dickens Theatre Company proudly presents Macbeth, Shakespeare’s bloodiest and most thrilling tragedy, arriving at Grand Opera House York in January 2026.
In this unique adaptation, the infamous Porter takes on the role of narrator, guiding audiences through the tangled web of ambition, betrayal, and dark magic. An ensemble of just 6 actors conjures a cauldron of characters, bringing the Scottish Play vividly to life.
Set against a backdrop of war, witchery, and treason, Macbeth remains chillingly relevant in the 21st century.
✅ True to the text – highlighting key themes, quotes & characters
✅ Inspiring productions that make revision exciting
✅ Post-show Q&As with the cast after the matinee performance
✅ School group rates available - please call the box office to book: 020 7206 1174
