Macbeth

MACBETH

Dickens Theatre Company present the Bard’s bloodiest tragedy!

This fresh new adaptation of the ‘Scottish Play’ arrives in Brentwood.

An ensemble of actors create a cauldron of characters, as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth make their perilous descent towards Hell. Set against a back-drop of wars, witchery and treasonous plotting, Shakespeare’s ambitious Macbeth remains ominously relevant in the 21st Century.
“What’s done cannot be undone!”

Dickens Theatre Company has been successfully staging classic English literature texts for the UK stage since 2015.

As part of DTC’s ‘Revision on Tour’ (alongside Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde), this Macbeth entertains and educates… to the bitter end.

Post-show Q & A available upon request.

Expected running time 70mins (no interval)

A Christmas Carol

Dickens Theatre Company

A Christmas Carol

‘Bring on the bowls of Seething punch. This Carol’s a cracker!’ – Morning Star

After their much loved run of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde in May 2022, Dickens Theatre Company are back at the Brentwood Theatre this November with their joyously authentic staging of this Victorian classic.

Two of Dickens’ closest theatrical companions find themselves trapped in the footlights’ glare. With the rest of the cast stuck on a train, actress Frances Ternan and Dickens’ faithful tour manager George Dolby take on the daunting challenge of portraying over 30 characters. But, who will play Scrooge?

Recommended for PRIMARY & SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS aged 7+.
