Macbeth Our next production is a brand new, compelling adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy featuring the original text cut to a fast-paced, blood-spattered 75 minutes and performed by just three actors. The cast includes James Mack (Macbeth) who played Raleigh in The Watermill’s 2014 production of Journey’s End, and Bronte Tadman as Lady Macbeth, who played Wendy in last year’s Christmas show, Peter Pan, with Joseph Phelps playing Duncan and Banquo.
