Lesser Than You… And Greater!

Lesser Than You… And Greater!

Coming to Ourspace on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12:

I, Banquo is a monologue by Tim Crouch, spoken by the soldier Banquo — Macbeth’s loyal friend.

Set in an otherworldy location, following the murder of King Duncan and Banquo himself, the story recounts a Scotland scarred by Macbeth’s reign of terror.

This gripping 50-minute performance explores the relationship between performer and audience, as Banquo draws those present into complicity with his closest friend’s terrible acts.

Chris Parham, as Banquo, dons his tartan and invites you to IMAGINE exactly what happened.

Not to be missed!

Perfect for students studying the play and those who love a bit of Bard.

Tickets: Adults 2500 yen & Students 2000 yen. Tickets include one free drink. Only 40 seats per performance.
