A bold, fresh take on Macbeth as a pagan ritual, in which three immortal witches enchant an unsuspecting man to become the bloody Thane. This innovative production mashes the glorious text of the Shakespeare classic with a 4000-year-old Sumerian epic poem, recasting Macbeth as a sacrificial king. You'll be on the edge of your seat as the immortals lead Macbeth to the heights of power, then use his own dark impulses to destroy him. The ensemble of four actors brings all the roles to life in this fast-paced, spellbinding show. An age-old drama made startlingly new.
