Our Artistic Director Richard Conlon has been fundraising for this production of Macbeth by doing a sponsored cycle from Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare, on Shakespeare’s birthday. The route is 200km and ends at Theatre Royal Winchester where Richard will crown actor Lawrie Morris who will be playing Macbeth with a crown - on loan from the Royal Shakespeare Company - that Richard will carry all the way on his bike. Funds raised will go towards staging Macbeth in July with the professional support of a creative team of set and lighting design, audio/visual artists, musician and costume designer.

“If this is the ‘Wizard of Oz’ then who is the old lady in the Hampshire care home, and why are we moving from 2022, to 1970 and 1898? As memories fade and the mind plays its tricks, is someone confusing reality with childhood stories or Hollywood movies?

“I should have never trusted that damned-fool Baum man, shifty. Took everything I said and wrote it right down, in black and white. Not an original thought under his hat. And don’t get me started on that darned film! Ruby shoes indeed! The shoes were silver, the most beautiful things I ever saw. Silver…I should know…I wore them.’

Yes, there is a cowardly lion, confused scarecrow and a tin man searching for a heart – but this is Blue Apple Theatre taking on a classic, so expect the unexpected and be prepared to see the familiar from a fresh perspective.”
