Macbeth opens
It’s here, the second half of our 2018 REP season has arrived. Our brand new female-led Macbeth, abridged by Moira Buffini and directed by Natasha Nixon hits the West End on 20 November. Catch this gender fluid exploration of Shakespeare’s classic, and see our talent REP Company in action.
