Under the direction of Devin Brain, The Acting Company’s sleek, accessible and characteristically bloody Macbeth will thrill, startle and satisfy. It is a 90-minute presentation perfect for both first-timers and Shakespeare buffs.
In one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies, Shakespeare dramatizes the psychological and political fallout when the ambition for power is satisfied through evil means. The three witches’ prophecy that he will become King of Scotland, Macbeth’s ambition, spurred to action by his wife, leads to his murdering King Duncan and ruling tyrannically through an era of bloodbaths and a civil war. Arrogance, paranoia, guilt, madness and death consume Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy.
