Royal Shakespeare Company partners with iNK Stories on 'Lili,' a neo-noir video game set in Iran that reimagines Lady Macbeth.
The Royal Shakespeare Company(RSC) is making its first foray into video games, partnering with New York-based indie studio iNK Stories on “Lili,” a neo-noir thriller that reimagines “ Macbeth ” in contemporary Iran. “It pushes the boundaries of storytelling, marking an inflection point in the depth of expression within commercial video games and expanding the creative vision of the RSC into new, interactive territory,” says iNK Stories co-founder Vassiliki Khonsari. RSC co-artistic directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey note that centering the thriller around Lady Macbeth rather than her husband is “radical and transformative,” saying it “turns the play’s questions around gender, identity and power inside out.”
