Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Directed by Garry Hynes

Riders to the Sea
By J.M. Synge

They’re all gone now, and there isn’t anything more the sea can do to me.
 

On the Aran Islands, off the coast of Galway, a woman contends with God and the sea for the survival of her family. 20 years on from the formative DruidSynge (2005), Tony Award winners Garry Hynes and Marie Mullen return to the work of one of Ireland’s greatest playwrights for this new production of J. M. Synge’s one-act masterpiece.
 

Macbeth
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Garry Hynes
A Druid production
Featuring Marty Rea as Macbeth and Marie Mullen as Lady Macbeth
 

The Scottish Play as you’ve never seen it before. Druid brings its visceral and uniquely Irish perspective to one of Shakespeare’s fiercest and bloodiest tragedies.
 

In medieval Scotland, the ambitious army general Macbeth is visited by three witches who foretell his ascension to the throne. In pursuit of this prophecy, and emboldened by his wife, Lady Macbeth, he sets out on a murderous path that threatens to sever the ties that bind their minds, their marriage, and the nation itself.
 

Tony Award winner Garry Hynes directs a cast of 11 of Ireland’s finest actors, led by Marty Rea as Macbeth and fellow Tony winner Marie Mullen as Lady Macbeth. This production follows Druid’s internationally acclaimed DruidShakespeare (2015) and Richard III (2018), and marks the company’s second appearance at IAC after its sold-out presentation of Beckett’s Endgame in 2025. 

 

Running time: 3 hours and 35 minutes, including two intervals.

A tense stage moment from Macbeth featuring an actor holding a dagger to the throat of an older actress, who smiles with her eyes closed
