In an age of political uncertainty and controversial leaders, Shakespeare’s immortal thriller is given new relevance and a contemporary twist. Loyalty collides with ambition in the ultimate tale of popular leadership, rise to power, and winning over the people.
In a slick, modern setting, ruthless politicians occupy the shadowy corridors of power, conspiring with and against each other as the race to claim the empire spins violently out of control.
