William Shakespeare’s Macbeth

February 28 - March 23, 2025

In this contemporary production of Shakespeare's Macbeth, ambition and political intrigue take center stage. When three witches foretell that Macbeth will ascend to the Scottish throne, he and his cunning wife craft a ruthless plot to make it so. Their journey into darkness is a violent portrayal of unchecked ambition and the corrupting influence of power. Toil and trouble boil over in this timeless tale of mayhem and madness, reimagined for today, where the lines between reality and the supernatural blur.
