Performed by the TNT Theatre (UK) as part of their tour in Britain and Asia. English dialogue with Chinese subtitles. TNT theatre was founded in 1980 in Britain. Since then it has established itself as one of the most popular international touring theatre companies in the world. MACBETH was the company's first Shakespeare production, premiering in Munich in 2000. The production ran continuously for over two years and was performed in Britain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Japan, Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the USA. The production is notable for its highly physical style, its integrated musical score, and the quality of the Shakespearean verse speaking. Nov 24-27, 7:15pm and Nov 26, 2pm. Tickets 800rmb/ 150rmb/ 100rmb.


Since 1993 TNT has been in collaboration with the American Drama Group Europe (producer Grantly Marshall). The artistic director of TNT is Paul Stebbings, whose work has won many awards at, for example, the Munich Biennale, the Edinburgh Festival, the Tehran Festival and from the government of Singapore. Other notable festivals in which the company has participated are the International Off-Broadway Festival in New York, the Tokyo International Theatre festival and the summer festival of the British National Theatre. The company has been in regular receipt of UK British government funding (Arts Council) and has frequently worked with the support of the British Council.



The production received press acclaim throughout its tour (almost unanimously good reviews), was attended by large audiences and often re-booked by notable theatres (such as Cologne Shauspielhaus or the Alti Fumin in Kyoto). The success of MACBETH inaugurated a cycle of Shakespeare productions that have given more performances in more countries than any other company since 2000. The productions have been: MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, HAMLET, ROMEO & JULIET and the current acclaimed KING LEAR. This is a full-blooded production that is not afraid to unleash the power of Shakespeare's dark masterpiece.
