Macbeth
Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Andrew Roblyer Major Underwriting by Alan Bryant Auditions February 10 & 11 Performances April 2 - 18 One of Shakespeare’s most famous and chilling plays that tells a story of what unchecked power and ambition can do. Following a long and bloody battle, a general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from dark and mysterious witches that one day he will become King. This prophecy is a seed that blossoms into the lust for power and naked ambition. Macbeth and his wife embark on a murderous rampage, killing anyone who gets in their way, regardless of age, gender, or friendship. A second prophecy from the same dark witches seems to ensure that the Macbeths’ power will be absolute, but power fueled by the blood of others will not go unopposed. |
