E.D.G.E. Theatre Extends MACSITH

E.D.G.E. Theatre has announced the extension of MacSith at Pendulum Theater Space, 1803 W. Byron Ave. Added weeks include May 28 - 31 and June 11 - 14. Based on William Shakespeare's Macbeth and set to the Star Wars universe, MacSith is adapted by Orion Couling and Jared McDaris and directed by Couling. Running time is 70 minutes. The performance schedule is Thursdays - Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18 - $20 and may be purchased at EdgeofOrion.com.

"Since the announcement of our spring engagement, ticket sales have been strong and many performances are already sold out. We are thankful to the Sci-Fi community and to audience members who return again and again to see what we have created. They are loving the story, the actors and, especially, the fight combat. We are fortunate that all members of the cast are available for this two week extension," said E.D.G.E. Theatre Artistic Director and MacSith Director Orion Couling.

MacSith is a Star Wars/Shakespeare mash up, it is not a parody or a farce and remains true to the Bard's original work. Both Shakespeare/Star Wars-fanatics and the Shakespeare/Star Wars-novices will be transported to a new world based on a classic work featuring nearly 40 actors. Civil war has finally ended on the planet of Cumber. The victorious Mon Beth is returning home to celebrate his army's triumph against the Weyan invaders. However, there is a dark power at work and forces unlike anything Mon Beth has previously faced are beginning to stir. Soon he encounters a sinister prophecy: Against all odds and his low station, Mon Beth will one day become King of Cumber. Driven by this prediction and by his wife's insatiable lust for power, Mon Beth puts all his might into taking the throne at any cost.
