We are thrilled to be welcoming Debs Newbold back to the Willow Globe for the third year running. Debs Newbold is a multi-award winning performance storyteller who creates fresh, playful work that gets deep under the skin.
Debs is a passionate and skilled performer with a gift for bringing the epic out of the everyday. She has made and performed work for the Royal Opera House, the BBC, Hay Festival and the RSC as well as Shakespeare's Globe where she has a long association. She also takes her work to theatres, festival stages and community spaces all over the world.
Debs’ work spans myth, legend and new writing and has seen her described as “a master of words and space” (Views From the Gods) and “sublime, a consummate performer” (Sam Lee). Her genre- defying collaborations with renowned director John Wright (Told by an Idiot) have helped re- define contemprary storytelling, resulting in two highly acclaimed shows; the award winning Lost In Blue, and Under Her Skin. Her one-woman re-tellings of Shakespeare’s tragedies have toured internationally and helped create an entire strand of storytelling work within Shakespeare’s Globe, where Debs trains new tellers.
★★★★★ “the atmosphere was incredible...one unfeasibly talented woman” - Views From the Gods
Come and be pulled deep into the world of The Bard's darkest tragedy with this alchemic solo performance from theatre artist and storyteller Debs Newbold.
From worthy warrior to marked man, from hero to murderer; Macbeth's fate is set from the start in this tense and gripping re-telling of Macbeth, the third in Debs Newbold’s trilogy of re-imagined Shakespeare stories.
Originally commissioned by the Hay Literary Festival, a sell-out at Shakespeare's Globe and the talk of festivals both in the UK and abroad, this is an unforgettable, shimmering work of performance storytelling that will haunt you for a very long time to come.
