Overview
Dunsinane
The National Theatre of Scotland and The Royal Shakespeare Company Production of
DUNSINANE
By David Greig
Directed by Roxana Silbert
The English General storms the castle on Dunsinane Hill and kills The King – but finds The Queen alive and unwilling to relinquish the throne. Unable to grasp the alien customs of the country, the General soon finds his peace mission spinning out of control. Fierce one minute and funny the next, Dunsinane is a modern language epic examining the limits of power – with uncanny parallels to present day politics.
The National Theatre of Scotland (Black Watch, Let The Right One In) teams up with the Royal Shakespeare Company (Les Misérables, Matilda The Musical) for a theatrical event you will not want to miss.
“Games of Thrones has nothing on this play." - Chicago Tribune
“You hardly need to brush up on your Shakespeare to see that the peacekeeping and nation-building of Dunsinanehas no end of resonance here and now.” - Washington Post
“A rich, funny, fascinating sequel to Shakespeare’s great tragedy.” - The Telegraph (UK)
“If it’s riveting spectacle, challenging ideas and human drama you want, this is the show to see”. - The Times
