ABOUT ABOUT

Join us this February and March for MacBeth. Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, and is considered one of his darkest and most powerful works. But director Kayla Mansur brings you a new version of the show one intertwined with horror set in a post apocalyptic society. Macbeth is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy, and tells the story of a brave Scottish general named Macbeth who receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia, and he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from suspicion. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of arrogance, madness, and death. Prepare to get intimate with actors and the story as you sit on stage in black box style seating. This is a long awaited opportunity to visually show the depth of this show. We hope you will join us for our one of a kind production of Macbeth.
