10 Feb-6 Mar. Scottish playwright David Greig and RSC collaborate once more in an epic piece about one man’s desire to restore peace in a country ravaged by war after the death of Macbeth. Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, an English army has swept through the landscape, killed the tyrant and taken the seat of power. Attempting to restore peace and put in place a new ruler, the commanding officer is beset by a brutal guerrilla uprising and simmering discontent amongst his own inexperienced troops. Struggling to grasp the alien customs and politics of this harsh country, he finds himself drawn towards the tyrant’s powerful widow in search of someone to share his burden of responsibility. Increasingly isolated from his own men and Scottish allies alike, his efforts to restore order appear futile as the situation spins out of control.

Q: Known in archeological circles as one of Perthshire's most charismatic hill forts, Dunsinane is bursting with history and atmosphere and makes for a superb short walk. As the name suggests, Dunsinane (Dun being the Gaelic word for a fortress or castle) was the site of an Iron Age Hill fort and walkers approaching the summit are, in fact, walking over ramps and ditches constructed thousands of years ago to improve the defence capability of the site. In more recent times Dunsinane Hill Fort has become known locally as a Castle, made famous in the 16th century by playwright William Shakespeare with these immortal lines "I will not be afraid of death and bane till Birnam Forest come to Dunsinane" - Act V, Scene III from The Scottish Play...also known as what?
A: 1) Macbeth .2) The Taming Of The Shrew .3) Twelfth Night .4) Hamlet
