Shakespeare in Borggården

The Brief

Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare’s most performed plays – a dark and intense story about power, ambition, and the consequences of going too far. The play blends elements of thriller, war drama, romance, and the supernatural into one gripping experience. The witches loom over the action as both driving forces and guardians of the natural order, while Macbeth and his wife gradually lose control in the face of their own ambition. This production by TNT Theatre, directed by Paul Stebbings, has toured the world since 2001, captivating audiences across four continents. The result is a powerful and atmospheric interpretation, featuring a distinctive musical soundscape by Paul Flush and a visual expression where the presence of the witches takes center stage.
