Macbeth and Kurt Cobain and Lady Macbeth and Courtney Love inspire a pitch-black comedy about unbridled ambition, hunger for power and an addiction to intoxication and ecstasy. Macbain is a triptych of hilarious interviews with the pop stars, a freaky fast-forward puppet version of Macbeth culminating in a merciless symbiosis of grunge royal couple Cobain-Love and the king and queen of Scotland. In their 22 years of creating work together, Dood Paard have forged a reputation as one of European theatre’s most ground-breaking companies.
The post Macbain appeared first on Summerhall August Festival 2016.
