SYNOPSIS:
William Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth will be onstage fall 2015. Macbeth is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy, and tells the story of a brave Scottish general named Macbeth who receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. The play dramatizes the corrosive psychological and political effects produced when evil is chosen as a way to fulfill the ambition for power.
In our production, we take this classic tale of human nature and set it inside a Rubber Factory around the end of the Great War (WWI), and ending around the great depression. As the play progresses we will see the transformation of the Macbeth's from workers, to leaders, to warriors.
