Birnam Wood Travel Poster | Shakespeare's Macbeth

Birnam Wood — A Shakespeare Travel Poster

Visit Birnam Wood. Before it visits you.

Some destinations are worth traveling to. Others have a rather unsettling habit of traveling to you.

Inspired by William Shakespeare's Macbeth, this vintage-style travel poster transforms one of the Bard's most ominous prophecies into an irresistible invitation to visit the Scottish countryside.

In Macbeth, the witches assure the ambitious Scottish king that he need not fear defeat until Great Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth considers this excellent news. As it turns out, he has rather misunderstood the possibilities of woodland mobility.

Designed in the spirit of classic travel advertisements, this poster combines atmospheric landscape imagery, nostalgic typography, and a distinctly Shakespearean sense of impending doom.

It's a little literary history, a little theatrical humor, and a charmingly questionable advertisement for Scottish tourism.

An excellent addition to:

• Theatre and English classrooms

• Drama departments and rehearsal spaces

• Libraries, studies, and home offices

• Shakespeare-themed collections

• The homes of actors, directors, teachers, and literary enthusiasts
