Manual Cinema: The 4th Witch is a darkly inventive retelling that adds an alternate perspective to Shakespeare's Macbeth through the lens of a fourth witch. Chicago-based Manual Cinema brings the story to life using live puppetry, music, and projected animation. The production runs two nights at Cullen Theater at the Wortham Center.
