Umabatha- MCO

uMabatha is a South African theatrical adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth by Welcome Msomi, set in the 19th-century Zulu Kingdom instead of Scotland. The play parallels the plot of Macbeth with the historical events surrounding the rise of Zulu King Shaka and his successor, King Dingane. It uses traditional Zulu dance, music, and ritual, incorporating cultural elements like the Sangomas (Zulu witchdoctors) to tell the story of Mabatha's corrupt ambition for power, leading to his tyrannical reign and eventual downfall.
