TCAN Players Present MACBETH 3/27

New Rep On Tour presents Macbeth in a contemporary format that would shake Shakespeare's world. Featuring Curt Klump and Jessica Webb of the Actors' Equity Association, the union of professional Actors and Stage. Free and open to the general public, with a suggested donation of $20 to benefit New Rep.

Shakespeare's Scottish tragedy of one man's rise to power, leaving a trail of blood and bodies in his wake, has spanned the centuries. In New Rep On Tour's contemporary version of Macbeth, the play's backdrop is the recent Bosnian War, where the warriors and weapons resemble an action movie instead of the middle ages.

Macbeth's bloodthirsty tale of power, revenge, and ultimate downfall, when placed in this modern context, heightens our awareness of what it is to live in a warlike state.

New Rep On Tour has performed for over 74,000 students over the course of nine seasons. Its mission is to bring high quality professional productions of relevant plays from the dramatic and literary canon to area venues. This program features the talents of some of the finest professional artists from the Boston area. Each season, these artists create two live theatrical touring productions of significant dramatic literature and bring them to Massachusetts.

Macbeth will be performed on Saturday, March 27, 8pm. $20 donation is suggested for this performance, or $10 for students. Proceeds benefit New Rep On Tour. For more information visit http://www.natickarts.org/. TCAN - The Center for Arts in Natick is located at 14 Summer Street in Natick, MA 01760.
