Macbeth
September 17 – December 16, 2018: Mondays and Wednesdays 5-8pm; Saturdays 11am-3pm
Shakespeare’s brooding and supernatural tragedy of a ruthless King’s rise to power and the retribution visited upon him for his bloody deeds.
Shakespeare’s comedy about four lords at the court of Navarre, whose vow to undertake three years of secluded study is upended by the arrival of the Princess of France and her entourage of ladies, is a very funny play full of high-flown poetry (and some not so high-flown) and country characters slinging a more earthy comedy. Oh, and of course there’s a Spanish knight in love with a country wench.
