DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama present
Macbeth, By William Shakespeare
Directed by Mary Moynihan
Produced by Annette Flynn
“It will have blood they say, blood will have blood”
A play of treachery and bloodshed, of violent deeds and haunting remorse that ventures into the darkest places of human experience
Over 400 years after it was first written and performed, William Shakespeare’s tale of ambition, political intrigue, murder and remorse remains as relevant as ever.
Many people are familiar with the tale of the ambitious Scots nobleman who goes on a murderous rampage following a prophecy of power from three mysterious witches only to discover that you should be careful what you wish for. Adapted for a contemporary audience and presented by an ensemble cast of DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama First Year Drama Students from the BA in Drama (Performance), this production highlights the continuing relevance of this masterpiece.
Director Mary Moynihan, Artistic Director and Theatre Consultant for Smashing Times Theatre Company and a full-time lecturer at the Conservatory, offers up a new take on the timeless tale, whilst retaining the compelling qualities that make this story so engaging.
Speaking of the production Mary Moynihan said: “For me, Shakespeare’s characters are compelling, showing humanity in all its virtues and vices. His language is very accessible, when the actors find the rhythm, like a human heartbeat, they make it come alive. It’s often forgotten that Shakespeare was writing for a sophisticated theatre audience drawn from all classes of society at the time. They expected entertainment and to be emotionally engaged. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is an experience not to be missed.’’
Macbeth runs for three nights only, 1st, 2nd and 3rd May at 7.30pm nightly in The Theatre, DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama, Rathmines Road Lower, Dublin 6.
Performances: 1st, 2nd, 3rd May, 2012
Times: Nightly 7.30pm
Venue: DIT Theatre, Rathmines Road Lower, Dublin 6

You are invited to The Friday Showing of:
RIUCHI
Directed By Fernando Hunon Hernadez
Performed By Guillaume Cousson
Circus-Dance-Magic
on
Friday March 2nd at 6pm
in
The Theatre Development Centre,
Triskel Arts Centre, Tobin Street, Cork.
Admission is free.
Hope to see you there!
RIUCHI develops around a series of two short circus acts in which technology, movement and theatre meet to create an innovative stage performance.
The mix of techniques, skills, genre, technology and the perpetual use of rhythm breaks and misdirection offer compelling moments that renew the perception of what contemporary circus acts could become while being caught between juggling,dance and magic.
The main character, RIUCHI, himself fully represents the mix and uncertainty of the performance to happen. Its elusive silhouette puts him outside of time and frontiers, within a borderless imaginary space that he creates and destroys from one act to the other. The props used are unique and developed specifically for this show, creating lights and colors manipulation, in various imaginative ways.
The public won’t know what will happen next, while not being quiet sure of what just happened now.
RIUCHI is a multifaceted journey inspiring beauty, movement, surprise and poetic amazement.

Last year some of our students helped out in the Dublin Business School Scriptwriting, Production and Development course as part of the Film Studies course. Each year they are given a class in Directing Screen Actors. You would be required to be those actors being directed. This is not a paid job but would be a good experience both for you and for the film studies students. It’s also an opportunity to network and make contacts for the future.
The class is running on Tuesday 8th November from 10am – 1pm.
If you are interested in attending please contact the course tutor Claire Dix on dixclaire@hotmail.com
