Dunsinane

Late at night in a foreign land, an English army sweeps through the landscape under cover of darkness and takes the seat of power

Struggling to contain his men and the ambitions of his superiors, the commanding officer attempts to negotiate the unspoken rules of this alien country

He seeks to restore peace to a country ravaged by war

This is Scotland in the eleventh century at the height of the fight for succession of the Scottish throne

David Greig's Dunsinane premiered in February 2010 at Hampstead Theatre, London, in a production by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
