• Dunsinane

  February 10th 2010 - February 19th 2010

  To celebrate the opening of Dunsinane, and as part of A Night Less Ordinary, there are 50 free tickets available for performances on Wednesday 10, Thursday 11, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 February.

  Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, an English army has swept through the landscape, killed the tyrant and taken the seat of power.

  David Greig's exhilarating new play commissioned by the RSC is a vision of one man's attempt to restore peace in a country ravaged by war. Dunsinane focuses on an often misrepresented period in Scotland's history, the events surrounding the death of Macbeth and the subsequent conflict for control of the Scottish throne.

  A long way from the story as told by Shakespeare, David's epic play follows the efforts of the English general, Siward, to secure a stable succession for the Scottish throne, while protecting England's interest. But the play goes far beyond a re-telling of historical fact. Very relevant to our current political climate, it is a darkly comic and compelling story of one man's attempt to do the right thing in difficult and dangerous circumstances.

  David is a multi award-winning Scottish playwright whose play with music, Midsummer, was a hit of last year’s Edinburgh Festival and transferred to Soho Theatre with critical acclaim. RSC Associate Director Roxana Silbert directs her first production for the Company with a cast including Siobhan Redmond and Jonny Phillips.

  Dunsinane runs at Hampstead Theatre, London from 10 February to 6 March 2010. We have 50 free tickets available for the evening performances on Wednesday 10, Thursday 11, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 February at the Hampstead Theatre. The Free Theatre Tickets scheme runs alongside our popular £5 ticket for 16-25 year olds which is available for all our performances.
