FPAC Presents 11th Annual Whatever Theater Festival
Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) presents the 11th annual Whatever Theater Festival, featuring a production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth on Thursday, August 2 and Friday, August 3 at 8 p.m. The production will be staged outdoors on Franklin Town Common. Performances are free of charge, with donations to FPAC gratefully accepted.
One of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, Macbeth is a psychological thriller about unchecked ambition, ruthless murder and revenge. Fueled by witches' prophecy and a lust for power, tyrannical madman Macbeth carries out a murderous plot to take Scotland's crown. With wife Lady Macbeth, the pair's dark corruption erodes human compassion and causes devastating destruction. FPAC presents a 90-minute adaptation of Shakespeare's classic morality tale, as "Something wicked this way comes."
Conceived and directed by Nick Paone, the summertime Whatever Theater Festival brings together professional artists, FPAC alumni, students and community performers in a collaborative theatrical experience. For more information, call (508) 528-3370 or visit www.FPAConline.com.
