CHAGRIN FALLS, OH. — The Academy for the Performing Arts brings its third successful season to a close with Shakespeare’s powerful tragedy, Macbeth. The famous tragedy is acted by members of the student ensemble in the studio theatre. The intimate setting allows for a careful discovery of the play, which helps bring the more subtle nuance of the verse into focus. Clear, easily heard, and right up front for the combat, the humor, the eerie incantations, and the savage cry of the Macbeths and their victims. This production is the result of a year-long rehearsal and intense study of acting Shakespeare.

Macbeth is considered the most concise and darkest of the Shakespeare's four tragedies. The play tells the tale of the heroic Scottish general, Macbeth, and his successful but ill-fated quest for the throne of Scotland. In the play, Macbeth (Ryan Stafford) and fellow general Banquo (Austin Murray) are visited by three witches, who prophesy that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and then King of Scotland. As first part of the prophesies begin to come true, Lady Macbeth (Laurel Nichole) persuades her husband to murder King Duncan (Ricky Vannelli) and become King sooner - rather than later. This bloody deed sets off a series of more bloody deeds, as Macbeth’s ambition and quest for power grows. Believing to be invincible, Macbeth faces off with Macduff (Sean Grandillo), and is ultimately defeated. Macbeth is a highly theatrical and hair-raising tragedy about the lust for power its bloody repercussions.

Macbeth opens Saturday, February 28th at 8PM and Sunday, February 29th at 2PM, closing April 18th, with a likely extension through April 30th. There are six performances.
