Various theatrical productions of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth are being staged across the Oceania and United Kingdom regions.

In New Zealand, a production directed by Benjamin Kibly-Henson at the ASB Waterfront Theatre utilized a dystopian set design to explore themes of greed and ambition. In the United Kingdom, the Shakespeare North Playhouse announced a production running from September 11 to October 3.

In Australia, Bell Shakespeare launched a touring production directed by Peter Evans. This reimagining is set in the post-WWI era and incorporates themes of spiritualism and seances to depict Macbeth’s internal struggle with his conscience.
