Macbeth

"Macbeth" is the last of Shakespeare's four great tragedies. It was written after the tragedies "Hamlet", "Othello" and "King Lear", and was first performed in the middle of 1606. 

The theme of this tragedy is so powerful that Shakespeare, when writing it, for the first time renounced introducing secondary and parallel sub-plots so characteristic of him, and instead was developing the theme in all its solitary grandeur, at the same time preserving all the mysticism and passion of the Scottish myth and giving it an ethical meaning. The struggle is between the forces of good and evil, the clash of light and darkness, because order has been disrupted in human society and the Good must restore it.

The play is directed by Jagoš Marković, the director at the National Theatre in Belgrade, and the leading roles are played by premier stage actors Nebojša Dugalić and Nataša Ninković. 

Professor Ljiljana Mrkić Popović will adapt Shakespeare's verses for the stage speech, and costumes will be desgined by Lana Cvijanović.

The premiere of "Macbeth" will mark the National Theatre Day on November 22, 2022.
