O, full of scorpions is my mind
What: Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Where: Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RST), Stratford Upon Avon
Who: Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC)
When: August-September 2023
Could things get any worse?
An old record by the Who echoed with the words:
“Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss”
Here at the RSC, the same problems that have haunted recent productions look like they are going to be around in the new era. Gregory Doran’s time at the helm was rather mixed. Now as we come out of an interim period, with Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey as co-artistic directors, things have really not changed. This production of Macbeth is diabolical, and I don’t mean devilish.
