Satan, conjoined twins and a walking wood - Macbeth has it all. This is an open-air production playing to two venues in the county.

Ambition, corruption and mad scary women - not life in the Big Brother house but Shakespeare's tragedy of bloody power-lust, Macbeth.

Ambitious: Macbeth

Open-air plays in the middle of summer tend to be light comedies, so it'll be a bit different to sit amidst the majestic Northamptonshire countryside watching murder and mayhem unfold in the Scottish dark ages.

But then again, maybe the historical settings at Rockingham and Alderton will bring to life this dark, brooding and complex play.

Macbeth is a Scottish soldier who becomes a tormented, guilt-ridden killer pushed on by his forceful wife.

This show by Heartbreak Productions delves into the mind of Macbeth as he struggles and fights with his conscience and uses 'psychological imagery' to create the worlds of Heaven and Hell.

It's directed by Peter Mimmack with music by Darren Scott.
