Derby Cathedral

An emotional and haunting adaptation of Shakespeare’s intense tragedy

1623 is delighted to be performing in the gothic magnificence of Derby Cathedral for the very first time.
Join us for Macbeth – Partners of Greatness – as we shine a light on the turbulent relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, while the rest of the play lurks in shadows.

Follow this fierce and fearsome couple as they slay their way to the top and struggle to stay there – from shared ambition to bloody hands, from guilty minds to total despair.

After the performance, you are invited to meet the cast and the director for a chat about the show and the themes that it explores.
