“This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself unto our gentle senses”
Macbeth
William Shakespeare
Dear Friends,
In the quote above, Duncan is referring to the Castle at Inverness in Scotland, but he could be describing Glamorgan Castle here in Alliance. Last year, over 800 patrons sat amidst the pleasant castle grounds, breathing the sweet summer air, and experienced our production of Hamlet. It is a magical place to see and hear the old stories, and Shakespeare At The Castle has been doing it for ten years.
This summer, we’re so pleased to bring French Stewart and Vanessa Stewart to Shakespeare At The Castle to play the original power couple: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. You may remember French from the sitcom Third Rock from the Sun, and the film Inspector Gadget 2 but French and Vanessa are no strangers to live theatre, and they’re eager to help us tell you this powerful story.
If you’ve been to our productions before, then you know that our shows are perfect for the family. If you’re new to Shakespeare At The Castle, you’ll understand why our audiences tell us that our performances are perfect for Shakespeare fans, as well as those who have had less experience with the Bard’s work.
To keep up with demand, we’ve added a second weekend of shows: Macbeth will play July 27–30, and August 3–6. Tickets will be available in June.
We’re so thankful that you have allowed us to reach our ten-year anniversary; Ten years of telling you the old stories in exciting and refreshing ways. Please join us again this year under the stars to witness the timeless tale of greed and power– William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
