BLUEBARN Theatre Presents William Shakespeare's MACBETH

BLUEBARN THEATRE presents Macbeth by William Shakespeare, adapted and directed by Beth Ann Hopkins, September 21st - October 8th & October 19th - 22nd.

Powerful ambitions. Crippling guilt. Brutal consequences. William Shakespeare's dark and bloody tragedy is as relevant today as it was 400 years ago. In this World Premiere adaptation by Beth Ann Hopkins, with original music by Elliot Roth, ambition corrupts a noble mind. Macbeth will betray and destroy all he holds dear.

"Entangled draws its inspiration from Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece, Macbeth. This captivating exhibition delves deep into the intricately dark realms of a tormented psyche, entwined by overwhelming guilt and paranoia. Through its art, Entangled explores the exquisitely brutal essence of a mind ensnared in its own web of emotions and consequences."
