PRESS RELEASE Are you ready for a truly wicked experience? Shakespeare’s Macbeth is probably the most feared play in the world, cursed with bad luck throughout history. King James banned it for five years and death and disaster have followed in its wake. This dark and daring play is about a Scottish warrior who is egged on by the prophecies of three witches and an ambitious wife to murder his way to the throne. The drama is full of spooky spells, bloody battles, gruesome ghosts and there’s even a forest which moves. It scared a king. Are you brave enough to see it? If you are, you’re guaranteed to enjoy the white-knuckle rollercoaster experience. Lydia Conway of the London Evening Standard described S4K’s last production of Shakespeare 4 Kidz Macbeth as "One of the most exciting versions of the Scottish play (either for adults or for children) that this ex-theatre editor has ever seen." S4K’s plays use the most famous quotes from the original texts, weave them into modern language, add some songs and dances into the mix and the result is a two hour entertainment which everyone – even the youngest primary kids – can understand. So watch out… something wicked this way comes, thanks to the Shakespeare 4 Kidz company. Ends NOTE TO EDITORS 1.
