Genesian Theatre opens production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth at new Rozelle venue

March 20, 2025

The Genesian Theatre has opened its production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth at their stunning new Rozelle venue in Sydney's inner west. Murder and madness take centre stage as this timeless tragedy is brought to life by a talented cast and crew.

With this production, the Genesian Theatre is reconnecting with one of its own long- standing traditions of presenting Shakespeare’s works.

In Macbeth, a military hero returning from war is presented with a prophesy which, when shared with his wife, becomes the spur to murder.

Director John Grinston, along with his cast and crew, has sought to do honour to the text, shine light on its great themes and bring to vivid life each of its characters.

Grinston notes “for more than four hundred years Shakespeare’s classic vision of sacrilegious crime and its consequences has gripped readers and audiences. Audiences and theatre makers come back to it time and again -– the brilliant, thrilling verse their carriage into the heart of darkness.”

Macbeth is playing until Saturday, 12th April, 2025

Venue: Genesian Theatre, St Joseph's Church Hall, 2B Gordon Street, Rozelle
