'What's done cannot be undone.'

The Scottish Play. The Other Place. 

Daniel Raggett, whose acclaimed Edward II played in the Swan Theatre earlier this year, directs Shakespeare’s story of love, power and ambition in the intimate setting of The Other Place. Sam Heughan (Outlander, Love Again) makes his RSC debut as Macbeth. Lia Williams (The Crown, Skylight) is Lady Macbeth.

Talking about the play, Daniel Raggett said:

“Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a play that needs no introduction. It’s so popular that it feels like it is always being performed somewhere, and probably is. With the RSC's last production of it only two years ago there's no reason to revive it unless you’re going to look at it with fresh eyes - and along with this exceptional, almost exclusively Scottish, company that is what I intend to do. The heart of theatre is its liveness and nowhere will this be more true than in the incredible intimacy of The Other Place. Whether you know it, or are new to it, it’ll be sure to hold a few surprises.”
