Following the success of their previous sold out open-air production of The Merchant of
Venice, which received rave reviews, Parodos Theatre Company in collaboration with
VillaGaiety, is excited to return to the stage with Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, Macbeth. Brought to the Gaiety stage this week, this gripping tale of ambition, power, and betrayal is
brought to life under the direction of acclaimed local director, Tony Eccles.
In a unique initiative to engage the Island’s youth, Parodos has scheduled a special morning
performance for the Island’s secondary school students. This aims to deepen the students’
understanding of this classic text, which is a staple in the GCSE and A-Level English and
Drama curriculum. Students will not only watch the performance but also participate in a
post-show discussion with the cast, exploring the play’s key themes and speeches.
Evening performances will be open to the general public, offering an opportunity for all to
witness this powerful production.
Co Founder, Alex Armstrong, shared his enthusiasm for the production:
“Bringing Macbeth to the Gaiety Theatre is a dream come true. Our talented cast and
crew have worked tirelessly to create a show that is both visually stunning and
emotionally compelling. We cannot wait to share this classic story with our
community during the 125th anniversary of the Gaiety Theatre’s opening.”
