Macbeth is a hauntingly exciting production by the well-established ensemble.
The House of Detention in Clerkenwell lends itself perfectly to the promenade performance, providing haunting brick cells and low lit playing spaces.
The stand-out performance for me was the young actress Serena Manteghi. Her versatility was very evident in her transformation from a weird sister to Lady Macbeth, then further on to Lady Macduff. Every word she said was enthralling and each moment she was on stage I couldn’t take my eyes off her. In some cases she outshone Macbeth in their scenes together. A bright future awaits this talented actress.
An absolutely brilliant show and a triumph for Belt Up.
