『MACBETH SC』(2024)
Rather than presenting a Shakespeare work as high-brow and difficult to understand, this adaptation under the concept “Shakespeare in casual clothes” is a stage work with its feet firmly planted in modern Japan which makes use of the story framework and appealing dialog of the original. Based on the philosophy that tragedy and comedy are two sides of the same coin, SP/ACE=project will perform two versions: S (Serious) and C (Comedy). The aim is to deepen understanding of classical works and expand the field of the performing arts. This production is a revival of “MACBETH SC” staged in 2016.

Launched as a project to use theatrical creation to “reach for the universe,” and explore the “universe” inherent in people and stories. Director Fumiya Matsuzaki builds his productions around the concept of “encounters with actors I would like to create works with now.”
To date the “Casual Meets Shakespeare” project has produced “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Twelfth Night,” “Macbeth,” “The Taming of the Shrew,” “Hamlet,” and “Othello.”
