What were we letting ourselves in for? So we packed waterproofs, our camping stools, hats and a torch into a bag and set out for Heaton Park, feeling a little odd. Fortunately when we got there we found everybody was as prepared as us, in fact some even more so with flasks of coffee and picnic snacks.
I found the procession format a little annoying at first, I was thinking it was disruptive and that we were spending more time walking (or scrambling) from scene to scene than watching them. But after a while it settled into a rhythm and I was starting to be enthralled by the story.
They had mixed it up by using a part Zimbabwean cast and drawing the comparison of Macbeth to Mugabe, which set against the Wooded areas of the park and ending in a spectacular scene in front of the highest point in Manchester at the Temple.
