Performances were excellent, with special mention to the quartet of village elders and the whole thing was a joy from start to finish. Considering that this is their “specialist” piece for the tour this year (i.e. played only once whilst the others are repeated at each venue) it seems odd that Macbeth was given a second airing rather than this, far more accessible piece.
