SYNOPSIS: An exhilarating adaptation that revitalizes Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Mac Beth infuses the tale of ambition and madness with a vibrant, contemporary energy. After school, seven teenage girls convene in an abandoned lot. They drop their backpacks, transform their uniforms, and dive into a DIY retelling of Macbeth. As the girls conjure kings, warriors, and witches, Shakespeare’s bloody tale seeps into their reality.
Mac Beth recontextualizes a classic text to expose the ferocity of adolescence and the intoxicating power of collective fantasy. Mac Beth's setting amplifies the intensity and immediacy of the story, creating an immersive experience that brings new dimensions to the classic narrative. This thrilling adaptation, that critics have lauded as vividly reimagined and boldly innovative, blends timeless drama with a contemporary twist, and closes Circle's 44th season with a captivating exploration of power, ambition, and identity.
Contains adult language and situations.
From script notes: These girls have a Macbeth club. They agree to meet in an abandoned field after school to “do” the play. Each has learned her part. The playing style is modern, quick, unaffected — the girls never pretend to be boys — they are, however, fully committed and present in the stakes of the characters they inhabit. They believe so fully in character that they are capable of losing themselves.
NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR: One of the most enticing things about Schmidt’s adaptation is the playground she’s created for the savageness that is young womanhood and the teenage ambition. As you explore this 400 plus year old text, ask yourself ‘how I can weaponize these words to vanquish my enemies and become prom queen?’ (or whatever Regina George-esque coup you’d like to insert.) The seduction of power is intoxicating and strong enough to drive both Mackers and the girls. Looking forward to seeing your work!
