Far from Scotland, a man tinkering in his cellar has assembled a cage-like contraption from hoarded junk, where something wicked is being stirred up. What started as a hobby evolves into a battle for domestic dominance, as the darkness of Shakespeare’s tragedy curls its fingers around the heart of a suburban family.

Two actors and a child conjure the entirety of Shakespeare’s spectacle. Under the direction of Paul Lazar (Big Dance Theater, The Wooster Group), New York’s Scott Shepherd (The Young Pope, Elevator Repair Service’s Gatz) and Australia’s Zahra Newman (Wake in Fright) unite to create an adrenaline-fuelling new production.

Shakespeare’s tragedy has never been more relevant than in This Ignorant Present.
