With their coke-fuelled visions and weaponised guitars, these productions put a new spin on Shakespeare’s tragedy
Two new versions of Macbeth march to a very different beat but music pulses at the heart of both.

The result is a show that burns with purpose, passion and energy to spare. The music in Proteus’s touring production feels less vital.
