SUMMARY:'Macbeth' performance @Seymour Centre\, Thursday 25th May 2025 - 10am-Closed
DESCRIPTION:Seymour Centre and Sport for Jove presentMACBETHBy William Shakespeare Recommended for ages 12+. Contains physical violence\, adult themes\, haze smoke\, loud or sudden noises\, strobe lighting and use of prop weapons. “What’s done cannot be undone.”Watch the premiere of an all-new production of Macbeth – a treat for teachers and students alike. An unexpected prophecy at the close of a devastating war sends a national hero and his brilliant wife on a feverish and murderous quest for absolute power. With startlingly beautiful language\, Shakespeare’s revered tragedy tears open the thin fabric between the temporal and magical worlds. This muscular\, contemporary production looks at today’s world through Macbeth’s eyes – an epoch where doublespeak is rife\, violence is a modern ecstasy and true loyalty is our most valuable commodity. Shakespeare combines Scottish and English history with Greek myth to one simple end – to capture what it is to be human. What happens to us when we sacrifice our humanity to get ahead? We live in such a time\, an unprecedented era that idolises fame and celebrity above leadership and morality. In such a time and place\, perhaps even nature begins to fight back. A boldly imaginative\, fully contemporary and brand new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth from Sport for Jove that is true to the text and full of engaging revelations\, a wonderful experience for students and teachers. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body. Image credit: Dowling and Dowling Designs “Sport for Jove did not disappoint! From the clever set design and the bold direction of the actors\, it was a passionate and powerhouse performance of Macbeth. Thank you for providing another wonderful theatre experience for students.” Kristy Styman\, Teacher at TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus “A great performance to cap off the students’ studies of ‘Macbeth’. Stagecraft was innovative\, particularly the use of lighting. Students found it engaging and it was certainly a rewarding experience.” Helen Tran\, English Teacher at Quakers Hill High School “Clear storytelling\, energetic performances\, sharp staging\, great swordplay and intelligent use of the language.” Show Duration: approximately 120 minutes with no interval plus a 15-minute post-show Q&A for all daytime performances.  YOU MUST BE A SHEN MEMBER TO BOOK TICKETS.  PLEASE ONLY BOOK FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY. Ticket sales will end on 10th of March\, unless sold out beforehand. Please ensure you choose the correct ticket option when you are paying.  People choosing Companion Card ticket must email a copy of the Companion Card to SHEN immediately after booking ticket(s).
