We are delighted to welcome back The Lord Chamberlain's Men to Chichester Cathedral for an open air performance of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'

The Lord Chamberlain's Men, the UK's premier all male theatre company - with direct links to the history of William Shakespeare - invite you to join them this summer for the breathless and brilliant tragedy, Macbeth.

Emerging victorious and decorated in war Macbeth receives a thrilling pronouncement from three witches who make a prophesy that he will one day be King of Scotland. Overcome by ambition and driven on by his powerful wife Macbeth murders the king and sets in motion a terrible sequence of events from which there is no turning back.

A play of supernatural magic, vaulting ambition and an examination of the dreadful consequences of the insatiable lust for power.  With Shakespeare's most chilling power couple and truly stirring poetry this stunning play will keep you gripped.

Bring a picnic, and prepare to be entertained and transported watching Shakespeare as he first saw it performed; in the open air, by an all male cast with Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.
