About Macbeth

Macbeth is an age old tale from William Shakespeare. It follows a man's rise to power through ill-gotten gain of his position and what happens when power and greed overwhelm more than any other focus. We've heard it said that “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” and that is certainly true in this story of Macbeth. Our version centers around a fantasy future world that has been broken down and only the elite have any possibility of power and electricity at their fingertips. This dystopian version includes an ensemble of 46 players and over 20 student technicians to create it. Macbeth is recommended for ages 12 and up. It does contain images of violence and death as one of Shakespeare's darkest tragedies.
