In Macbeth, the characters are propelled into a world of darkness and moral decay by the inevitable clash between ambition and fate – ideas that form the foundation of my design.

Drawing from visuals with bold contrasts and deep shadows, I incorporate a revolving stage, colour transitions, and lighting to symbolise Macbeth's descent into chaos and corruption. The throne, originally red and gold to signify Duncan's rightful power, darken after his murder, representing Macbeth's tainted rise; they revert to red and gold upon Macbeth's defeat, symbolising the restoration of order.

The play's psychological intensity allows for impactful staging and lighting to highlight key transformations, while the minimalist set design subtly supports these shifts, grounding the story's emotional weight.

The proposed design remains haunting and evocative, using contrasting spaces, colour changes, and costumes to underscore the unyielding force of fate and the consequences of unrestrained ambition.
