William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, *Macbeth*, produced by Great Lakes
Theater at Playhouse Square, explores the down side of power and kingship.

“The Scottish Play,” directed by Sara Bruner, returns to the Hanna Theater
still as relevant as it was when first produced during the reign of Great
Britain’s King James I.

Yes, different times, different rulers, but the same vanities and ambitions
continue to worry today’s humans.

The darkly lit stage, at times making it hard to see who was who and what
was going on, provided a forewarning of the evil to come. Small spots of
light showed paths and ways out as characters raced around (usually while
trying not to be murdered—didn’t work for them most times). But we know
this is a tragedy, right?
