The Paper Cinema's Macbeth (UK)

“The expressively drawn hand puppets are devised and operated with absolute precision, and it’s a refreshingly nasty take too.” The Stage, UK

“An ingenious and brilliantly-crafted production realises Shakespeare's bloody tragedy through beautiful, hand-drawn cut-outs projected onto the big screen. Highly recommended.” ActDrop.uk

“Rich with mysterious atmospherics and dark, punky humour, The Paper Cinema's Macbeth is a daring, dexterous and thoroughly entertaining piece of storytelling.” Broadwaybaby.com

The Paper Cinema was founded in 2004 by Nicholas Rawling, Imogen Charleston and Christopher Reed.  It performs a unique blend of live animation and music, which continues to tour the UK and internationally.  

The company uses the language of animation, music, film and theatre to lead viewers through a variety of stories.  Intricate pen and ink illustrations are manipulated in front of a video camera and projected onto a large screen alongside the original music, which is integral to the work.  The company performed a critically acclaimed production of Homer's Greek epic, The Odyssey, in Hong Kong in 2015.
