Gruach

by Gordon Bottomley

Gordon Bottomley's 'Gruach' is a verse drama that delves into the life of Lady Macbeth before her infamous role in Shakespeare's play. It reimagines her as a young woman named Gruach, revealing her family life, her relationship with her husband, and the events that lead to her eventual ambition for power. Through lyrical language and dramatic scenes, the play explores themes of destiny, ambition, and the corrupting influence of power.
