SHOWTIME: Macbeth with Nicole Nabout

🎭 Macbeth 📍Royal Botanic Gardens - Southern Cross Lawn 🗓️ 31 January to 28 February 🎟️ shakespeareaustralia.com.au The Macbeths are back—driven by an unrelenting thirst for power and an obsession with the throne. “Their passion for each other is absolute in every way—both metaphysical and erotic. The lust for power fuels their mutual desire, heightening the storm of chaos.” A prophecy from three witches ignites Macbeth’s burning ambition as he returns from war—an ambition that sets his wife ablaze with ruthless determination. Together, they plunge into a world of manipulation and madness, where murder is merely the first step toward their insatiable hunger for control. Invading armies, blood-soaked betrayals, dark magic, storms, and the ghosts of the past—every force that has ever fought for power converges in this tale of fate and fury. “Macbeth, accusing himself of weak malice and insufficient slaughter, summons an apocalyptic ambition—one that will tear the universe apart, destroying this world and the next.” NICOLE NABOUT Nicole Nabout is an acclaimed Australian actress known for her dynamic performances across television, film, and theatre.
