Shakespeare’s brutal tragedy is given new life in this haunting, break-neck adaptation, retaining the intensity and intrigue of Macbeth in 80 high-octane minutes, with two award winning actors brilliantly and boldly bringing more than 20 roles to life. This innovative and entertaining performance is presented by Out of Chaos, in partnership with ATG Creative Learning, specifically for schools audiences.
It’s the most lucid and brilliantly illumined Macbeth I’ve seen. Every inflection and difference is blocked, almost choreographed, with an astonishing economy of gesture and means –it’s a phenomenal feat … you’ll never see anything quite like it again.- The Fringe Review
Out of Chaos is an award-winning company whose performers hail from around the world. This accessible, clear, and exciting production combines highly skillful physical theatre with powerful text work, vibrant characters and original music.
There will be a free 20 minute structured Q&A with the company after the 1.15pm performance for anyone who wishes to stay.

I left the theatre knowing that I had seen something very special, a working of Shakespeare that was captivating and at the same time innovative, but above all worthwhile- The Latest
For a younger audience studying the play at school it will open up new avenues of imagination, showing a more modernist approach to performance where there’s more to live Shakespeare than ruffs and wooden sword fights.- The Reviews Hub

Vesta Tilley laid the foundation stone of what is now the Sunderland Empire on 29 September 1906 and took to the stage on 1 July 1907 to officially declare the theatre open. Masterminded by two of the contemporary heads of British theatre, Edward Moss and Oswald Stoll, the Sunderland Empire Theatre has undergone many changes since it opened but remains the North East’s premier entertainment venue.
