For those in London during January, I gather that this Macbeth is a must-see.  Wilton's Music Hall is one of the few surviving purpose-built London music halls; it was a competitor in the first Restoration TV series, and is worth a visit in its own right.  It is worth actively supporting, as an historical building in need of restoration and as a vibrant community theatre.

Subject: African Macbeth at Wilton's Music Hall

Dear Supporter 
 
We are delighted to announce our next co-production with Out of Joint theatre company. For this show we are operating "not-difficult-tickets" whereby the earlier you book the cheaper they are. Tickets start at £10 and rise to £30.
 
MACBETH is a promenade adventure set in a lawless African state. So far the show has transformed old mills and factories, scenery workshops, fringe theatres and a stately home. It was a great success, selling out at all venues with regular standing ovations and, in London, long queues for returns.
 
Shakespeare's shortest, most popular tragedy will now play at Wilton's Music Hall from 6 January to 5 February 2005.  The cast includes Danny Sapani as Macbeth and Monica Dolan as Lady Macbeth.
