AN ENCORE (REPEAT) SCREENING OF A PERFORMANCE CAPTURED LIVE ON 14 FEBRUARY 2017

“Fair is foul and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy air.”

The King of Scotland has generously rewarded his brightest warrior. But supernatural beings have predicted for Macbeth a far greater honour. When his merciless wife is captivated by the promise of infinite power, fuelling her husband’s fiendish ambition, he is doomed, and their devilish plans turn to bloody massacre.

Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru’s site-specific production – live from Caerphilly Castle – of Shakespeare’s brutal tragedy in a new Welsh translation by the late Gwyn Thomas.

Cast includes Richard Lynch (Pobol y Cwm, Hinterland) as Macbeth and Ffion Dafis (Byw Celwydd, Rownd a Rownd) as his merciless wife. Director: Arwel Gruffydd.

“Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.”

This is without doubt the best production of Macbeth I have seen in any language and I hope it will be seen and enjoyed increasingly widely.

Mae’n deyrnged o fri i’r diweddar Gwyn Thomas, ac yn ddechre gwych i’r Theatr Gymraeg yn 2017.

A cold and spooky medieval castle is possibly the best location for a production of Shakespeare’s brutal tragedy Macbeth.
