SHAKESPEARE’S best-known tragedy will come to life in Cardross this Saturday, June 1, when the Walking Theatre Company brings their unique open-air interpretation of Macbeth to the village’s Geilston Garden.
Macbeth the Red is the Walking Theatre Company’s adaptation of the ultimate Scottish play, Shakespeare’s Macbeth – but served with a twist.
First Lady Gruoch Macbeth, granddaughter of the mighty King Kenneth III, takes control and leads her lord on a merry dance.
