The Real Lady Macbeth
by Stuart Delves
First performed on the Edinburgh Fringe in 1982, the play traces both the truth and lies surrounding the Macbeths.
Fake news is not new.
The characters hurtle through five centuries, playing many roles as they explore history and fable.
Our thanks to Stuart Delves, the author of the play, who has contributed some additional writing to contemporise the script and supported the UK tour.
The Real Lady Macbeth is an EYT+ show.
EYT+ is English Youth Theatre's excellence program, where our most promising young performers get the chance to take theatre more seriously with longer rehearsals, learning new skills and techniques, and taking on more challenging work. The standards we set are high, and all participatants had to audition to get a role.
