Macbeth at Conwy Castle Shakespeare

Why This Production Stands Out

  • Bold contemporary adaptation by Duke’s, known for innovative storytelling

  • Psychological intensity—the focus is on the protagonists’ unravelling minds

  • Atmospheric castle backdrop—13th-century walls lend dramatic impact to every scene.
