About

Award winning theatre company The Shakespeare Edit presents MACBETH (solo) a distilled version of Shakespeare's Macbeth for one actor. This thrilling monodrama has played to sold out venues in Italy, Latvia, London and at United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC where it won Best International Show. Performed by Artistic Director Paul Goodwin, and created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Dmitriy Saratsky, this 50 minute dramatic monologue is storytelling at its best; with psychological depth, superb verse speaking, dynamic physicality and a brilliant soundscape bringing Shakespeare's tale of ambition, murder and madness fully alive for contemporary audiences.
