Join us on a trip to see Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the recently renovated Lyric Theatre on the Banks of the Lagan. Macbeth is easily the most popular of Shakespeare’s tragedies and its themes of adherence to superstition and distorted ambition resonate all too well with the Northern Irish psyche. This darkly comic production will harness the wit and muscularity of the Ulster idiom with Shakespeare’s supernatural thriller. You can find more info here.
Tickets for this event are £10 and must be paid for in advance at the Reception Desk on Level 1 of the I&PSC by Friday 2nd November.
