Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma, two of Britain's most acclaimed actors, are in a warehouse in Liverpool, sitting in the middle of a wasteland of charred trees, giant pieces of rubble blackened and a burned car.< /p>
This immersive set was built for the new version of Shakespeare's Macbeth couple, which avoids traditional theaters in favor of different types of places.
In their simulated war zone, we are far from the West End.
The members of the audience must walk through this modern reimagining of Macbeth's battlefield, which sets the scene before taking their seats in the makeshift auditorium.
"I hope "that it will give them a sense of the destruction of war - the devastation, the chaos, the disorder and the horror," says Fiennes, who plays the title role.
