African Macbeth

Mfiti (witches) played by Sam Katimba, Ben Michael and Sally Nyundo

Set in urban Africa, the set is an expressionist cityscape with a huge baobab tree growing from urban decay. Set piece movement sequences spread the action through the audience with rebels attacking from the auditorium and performers using the entire space, creating an involving, entertaining and exciting show.

The Rebels

Created in an election year, this is an explosive mix of witchcraft, civil war and political ambition in modern day Africa. Ben Michael, Sally Nyundo and Sam Katimba play the witches, using their unique mix of traditional music and reggae to create a dark, frightening background of tradition, superstition and supernatural happenings.

In partnership with the British Council, African Macbeth toured to record audiences in Malawi and then continued its success in Zimbabwe, playing to full houses as part of the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA).
