Description: 'Thirteenth Night' is a dream play, rewriting Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' for a Labour government, a denunciation of creeping tyranny and socialism's dilution. Ominous and witty, Brenton recasts 'Macbeth' to discover a contemporary path to tyranny. 'Thirteenth Night' was first presented in 1981 at the Warehouse, London.
