Designed as an exciting and immersive audio experience, Macbeth: The Podcast has been created especially for students. Performed by members of GRSF’s professional acting company, Shakespeare’s play is presented in five action-packed episodes complete with episode recaps and helpful stage directions. The podcast features score and soundscape by Scott O’Brien, originally designed for GRSF’s 2019 season production, directed by Paul Mason Barnes.
Read along with the text as you listen, get entangled in Shakespeare's bloody, murderous plot, and discover why Macbeth is still one of the greatest tragedies ever written.
The edited version of the script used for this production will be available here soon!
