Critically-acclaimed VOLTA THEATRE COMPANY returns to Smock Alley with a new production of Shakespeare’s gripping tale of murder, totalitarianism and how a person loses their soul. In a politically unstable world, where witchcraft and satanic cults chip away at the status quo, a man temperamentally unsuited to kingship seizes the crown by violent means. Corrupted by absolute power, he becomes vengeful, paranoid and completely unhinged in his bid to establish a dynasty bloodline. Shakespeare’s timeless story about the horrors that lie in wait beyond societal breakdown has non-stop action, suspense, terror, and some of the mightiest language ever penned.

Three boys, one girl, and a friend who won’t stay dead. It wasn’t meant to happen this way, it wasn’t supposed to go this far. They didn’t mean it. Sure, it was only supposed to be a mess. SIMPLE CREATURES is a dark exploration of violence amongst young people in today’s society, especially between men and their relationship with each other, and women. It’s a cruel and at times absurdly comic view of the dark road many young people across the world are walking in today’s age.
