Business Overview

Based on the concept of "Shakespeare in casual clothes," this film adapts Shakespeare's works not as "noble and difficult" but as a theatrical work to be performed in present-day Japan, while making use of the structure of the story and the charming dialogue. Tragedy and comedy are presented in two versions, S (serious) and C (comedy), based on the concept of two sides. Its purpose is to deepen understanding of classical works and broaden the scope of performing arts. This is a reprise of "MACBETH SC" performed in 2016.
