Nigel Wrench writes: "In a rehearsal room in North London, young actors work on their sword-fighting skills, for a play that imagines what happened after Shakespeare's Macbeth ended.

A foreign army tries to restore order after toppling a tyrant.

Familiar? Its writer David Greig and director Roxana Silbert acknowledge parallels with modern-day Iraq and Afghanistan.

Would Shakespeare have been pleased? Should politicians be invited along?

Our picture by the way is by Simon Annand, and a rehearsal blog by the play's soldier chorus."
