SUNDAY 13TH JULY

Macbeth Set in 1919, a group of shell-shocked soldiers have been recuperating at a rehabilitative hospital in the English countryside. As they return to full health, the hospital is reverted back to being a stately home. As a final farewell, the soldiers and staff gather to commemorate their time together and reflect on their war-time experiences. They decide to stage Macbeth as a protest play against war so that the universal and personal atrocities of war can never be forgotten
