About the event
Essentially Macbeth tells the story of a group of ex-drama club members coming together to stage Macbeth in order to rekindle their passion for the arts they felt 10 years ago. By coming back to theatre, they find themselves re-examining their life choices and asking the same question they had before – what is the meaning and purpose of the arts in their lives?
Directed by Judy Ngo, with an original score composed by Phang Kok Jun and conducted by Moses Gay, Essentially Macbeth is a collaboration between NUS Chinese Drama and NUS Chinese Orchestra and explores what success, ambition and fulfilment mean to today’s generation.
Not your ordinary theatre experience, this production promises a unique experience with actors and musicians performing alongside one another to dynamic live music.
Conducted in Mandarin (with English surtitles).
