“Something wicked this way comes.” Experience a visually striking, modern production of Shakespeare’s Scottish play, featuring dynamic choreography in an intimate setting. Blind ambition and twisted prophecy lead Macbeth to murder the Scottish king and seize the throne. An impulse for destruction and a loose grip on sanity define Lord and Lady Macbeth’s foothold on power that can only end in tragedy.
