Blending live action with innovative video technology, theatre company imitating the dog presents an ‘audacious and daring’ neon-noir retelling of Shakespeare’s incomparable tragedy from Wed 8 – Sat 11 Mar at The Lowry.
Praised as ‘breathtakingly inventive’ by The Times, this cyberpunk adaptation of The Scottish Play embeds Shakespeare’s original verse into a glimmering yet murky metropolis, creating a fresh thriller for modern audiences from the archetypal tale of ambition, destiny and downfall.
Filled with ‘startling new scenes, stunning visuals and a powder-keg intensity’, imitating the dog’s Macbeth recounts three mysterious figures who, believing there to be a fabled couple who can overthrow the old regime, conjure the doomed general and his ruthlessly supportive wife, immediately plunging them into an unfamiliar world of paranoia, brutality and betrayal.
