“And coming back from battle, we’re met by three figures, like sisters... On the heath, with the weather closing in.... And what these sisters suggest to us... It sticks in our minds, like the blood to our swords.”
A blood-shot, story-telling journey into the heart of Shakespeare's Macbeth, told through the eyes of his murdered best friend. i, banquo is classic theatre and modern story-telling combined, accompanied by a heavy-metal-guitar-playing 13 year old Fleance, a severed head and 32 litres of blood.
