Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Theatre Company Presents: Macbett by Ionescu

Macbett by Eugene Ionesco
Director Chris Garner

Eugene Ionesco, playwright and pessoptimist once said.

"Shakespeare is the King of the Theatre of the Absurd. Macbeth says that the world is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. That is the pure definition of the Theatre of the Absurd-and perhaps the world. Shakespeare was the great one before us. His place was between God and despair"

With a cast of familiar characters, Ionesco's dark comedy explores the absurdity, the madness of all power brokers and those involved in wearing the suit of narcissism.
