“An extraordinary performance, that offers a new reading of Macbeth. Paul is a force of nature."
SOLIMANO PONTAROLLO - CEO/President of CASA SHAKESPEARE VERONA
“Thankyou for this Macbeth. It was an unmissable opportunity”
Carolina Casanova
“His acting experience was incredible, having to carry the entire Macbeth on his own… A sensational work of dramaturgy, managing to create a common thread between all the characters, as if they were expressions of Macbeth himself. The show truly captures the spirit of Shakespeare, the spirit of the play Macbeth, for which the actor has become the spokesperson”
Alexandro Sentinelli
PREVIOUS REVIEWS:
"Distils Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy into an hour of taut, unrelenting theatre..."
"Every voice we hear and every figure who “appears” is refracted through Macbeth’s mind. His world shrinks until no one else matters."
"In one man’s body and voice, Shakespeare’s text comes alive, offering a crash course in the playwright’s insights into supremacy, paranoia, and the fragility of the human mind."
ASPECTS OF HISTORY
"Fierce monologue, ferocious physicality, and thorough rawness..."
"EXCEPTIONAL ACTING"
A YOUNG(ISH) PERSPECTIVE
"GOODWIN’S TIRELESS PERFORMANCE IS POWERFUL, DEFTLY NAVIGATING MACBETH’S MANY MOOD SWINGS WITH EASE, LEADING TO A STRONG AND, UNUSUALLY FOR THIS STORY, MOVING CONCLUSION."
THE REVIEWS HUB
The Shakespeare Edit's production of MACBETH SOLO has played to sold out audiences at the Verona Shakespeare Festival Fringe, York International Shakespeare Festival, Petrovden Shakespeare Company (Bulgaria), SaFest Udine (Italy), in Riga and Daugavpils in collaboration with British Council Latvia, and at United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC winning the award for Best International Show.
Performed by Artistic Director Paul Goodwin, and created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Dmitriy Saratsky, this 55 minute dramatic monologue combines a rigorous approach to language and the spoken word, with a dynamic physicality and brilliant soundscape, bringing Shakespeare’s tale of ambition, murder and madness fully alive for contemporary audiences.
"Condenses and crystallises the tragedy of Macbeth into a non-stop stream of consciousness roller coaster...utterly compelling." LondonTheatre1
