Inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, musical Lady M tells the untold story of Lady Macbeth. Chilling flashbacks of her haunted past are woven into this reimagining of the infamous tale, revealing an original backstory to Lady Macbeth's villainy and downfall, and offering a brand new perspective on one of Shakespeare's most profound psychological works.
It's a semi-immersive production, with the audience on both sides of a central stage, while the stage itself shapeshifts, breaking apart and using hydraulic to rise and and lower.
Created, adapted and written by James Beeny and Gina Georgio, the sung-through musical features a modern score with original music and lyrics.
Looking like th' innocent flower, but being the serpent under 't is Dutch singer Maya Hakvoort as Lady Macbeth, while strutting his stuff as Macbeth is West End star Karl Queensborough, who previously played the title role in smash hit Hamilton – so you can expect good things.
Well, wicked things, performed well...
'Lady M' runs from August 8 to September 1, then it is out, out, brief candle!
