THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.

MR. BARRY SULLIVAN
Is engaged for a Limited Number of Nights.

SHAKSPEARE'S MACBETH!
The Management respectfully announces the revival of this
Tragedy, in an entirely original form of Dramatic and Artistic
Effectiveness, to achieve which result most indefatigable research
has been employed, and an outlay commensurate with its im-
portance freely expended.
The original Text of Shnkspeare is carefully adhered to, and
Two Scenes restored which are omitted from the usual Stage
Representations.
The valuable assistance of
Mr. BARRY SULLIVA-N
Has been secured expressly for the character of Macbeth ; and
Mrs. VICKERY,
From. the Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, will make her First Ap-
pearance in Liverpool, in the character of Lady Macbeth.
THE VOCAL MUSIC,_ _ _ .

`Usually attributed to Matthew Locke, but Which antiquarian re-
search has proved to be the composition of John Eccles, will be
retained, on account of its great beauty, character, and popularity,
'though not appertaining to the original text. The Instrumental
accompaniments to the same are entirely re-arranged (and in part
=composed) by Thomas German Reed. The March of Macbeth's
Army, the Bardic Music in the Banquet Scene, the Incantation
Music in the Fourth Act, and the various charges and flourishes,
'composed and arranged expressly for this revival by EDWARD
YITZWILLIAM.
Previous to the Tragedy the Orchestra, under the direction of
M. Busitcz (Musical Director), will perform the First Movement
of Spohr's celebrated Overture to " Macbeth ;" and between the
Acts the following classical Works, namely :—The Overture to
"Roy Bias" (Mendelssohn);" the Overture to " Der Berggheist"
(Spohr) ; the " Marcia Funehre," from the " Eroica Sinfonia"
(Beethoven); and the "Grand Triumphal March," by F. Ries.

THE SCENERY, -
Designed entirely by Mr. DEARLOYE, jun., and Painted by him,
assisted by Mr. GEORGE DAwsort.
The Architecture previous to the Norman Conquest has been
adopted. During the five centuries which preceded that event
many Castles and Churches had been erected of considerable im-
portance; the buildings excelled in Ironwork, and were frequently
ornamented with Colour.
THE COSTUMES
By Mr. and Mrs. JEFFRIES.
The very uncertain information possessed respecting the Dress
worn by the inhabitants of Scotland in the eleventh century,
renders the attiring of the characters in Macbeth a task of very
great difficulty.
The nobles and common people wore mantles of one sort, long
and flowing, and shaggy rugs. The nobles wore mantles of varie-
gated colours; the common people mantles of a brown colour;
near to the colour of heather. They wore no stockings, but
botines, made of the skins of deers or other animals. Many of
the Scotch went with bare heads, allowing their hair to grow very
long.
The Scottish fema'e habit consisted of a long robe, girdled
round the waist, with a full and flowing mantle, denominated the
• Arisad.
THE ARMOUR AND WEAPONS.
By Mr. Baost LEY.
The ancient Scottish weapons were the spear, the battle-axe,
'the bow, and the sword, (cleadheamh-more.) Their defensive
armour—a shirt of ring mail, and round targets covered with
-bull's hide, and studded with nails, and bosses of brass or iron.
The eagle feather in the helmet was the distinguishing mark of a
- chieftain. The armour of the English forces is copied from the
Bayeux tapestry.
THE MACHINERY,
Which is of a most elaborate description, bas been made under
the direction of Mr. B. Jonas.
The Stage Business directed by Mr. F. L. VILLIERS; and the
--whole of the arrangements, and miss-en-scene, produced under
the personal superintendence of Mr. W. R. COPELAND.
tn- An early attendance of the Visitors to the Theatre is
• respectfully requested, as some of the most striking scenic effects
take place at the very commencement of the Tragedy.

This present TILISDAY EVENING, the 26th instant, an every

PERIOD OF THE TRAGEDY.—Macbeth was killed in 1057, in the
