The Oxford Rep Company presents Macbeth at Wrest Park.

In the 19th Century, the Dining Room at Wrest Park was the site of many private theatrical performances.On the 4 & 5 April the Dining Room will once again be a site for intimate theatre.

The year is 1969. Ahead of their return to the West-End for a run of Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Macbeth’, two married actors - infamous for their tumultuous relationship - have invited the cast and crew for a dinner party at their home - Wrest Park.

As bottles of wine are emptied, plates cleared, and the script read aloud for the very first time, the line between drunken theatrics and sobering reality begins to fade. Hidden tensions, bitter resentment, and latent desire bubble to the surface as Shakespeare’s story of ambition, corruption, and seduction comes alive, and druidic forces descend upon the dining room and the world of glamour and vice it represents. 

Gates will open at 6:30PM. Refreshments will be available before the performance and during a twenty minute interval, ready for the play to begin at 7:00PM.

Age guideline is 13+
Carers go free.

Parking is available in the Tenants' Carpark from 18:30 - drive past the front of the house and turn right.

Text is 95% Shakespeare’s original text with some small creative license taken.
