Ventnor Fringe ...

The Witches weren't the only weird sisters. On the side of a blasted rock in the middle of nowhere stands an outpost of the international trafficking syndicate. Duncan stands Kingpin in this place, but there is a disquiet in the air and the Macbeth sisters have been promised more power than they ever dreamed.

Aelfa Centauri Theatre Company marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death with a new version of one of his most beloved tragedies, Macbeth. We follow the Macbeth sisters as they, along with countless others, find themselves in an unknown spot in the middle of a foreign land. Sold into a life of uncertainty and disease. On the road for what has seemed like weeks, their final destination still a mystery. In this place they can only but rest. But can they find opportunity in this desolate place? Can they become more than human cattle trawling across the continents? Can the Macbeth sisters knock Duncan off his perch and bring liberation to all those stolen from their old lives.
