Take a break from watching a bloody dictator fight to the death against foreign-supported rebels on satellite TV… to watch one do it on stage.

London’s Globe Theatre educational project (Globe Education’s Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank) is bringing its “educational” version of Macbeth to the UAE.  The performance of the show, created specifically for teenagers, was last night at the Abu Dhabi Theatre (would love to hear about audience reception from anyone who was there) and on March 27 and 28 at Al Madinat Theatre, Dubai.
