DCW & Friends are exploring creating the last scene from MACBETH while president George W Bush resides and Dromoland castle on June 26th.

We've got a powerful paranoid king on his last legs. We've got him in a castle. We've got the prophecy of the witch that his reign will end when the woods come to the castle. We've got a copy of Polanski's Macbeth. We've got peaceniks and shrubbery.

VENUE - 83 Corrib Rd. Kimmage, Dublin 6
