MACBETH By William Shakespeare
17 – 27 March After a smash-hit season and national tour in 2025, Sport for Jove’s acclaimed production of Macbeth, directed by George Banders, is back at the Seymour Centre for the Arts Education Program. Set in a world where ambition overrides morality and power corrupts absolutely, an unexpected prophecy sends a national war hero and his brilliant wife into a fever-dream for control. Shakespeare’s haunting tragedy combines Scottish and English history with Greek myth, revealing a world where double-speak reigns, violence is seductive, and loyalty is a rare and precious thing. This muscular, modern production speaks directly to today’s students, exploring the cost of ambition, the fragility of conscience, and the consequences of sacrificing humanity for personal gain. In an age obsessed with fame and influence, Macbeth asks— what happens when nature itself begins to fight back? Boldly imaginative and true to the text, Macbeth is a fantastic introduction to Shakespeare for young people.
