Macbeth In Stride at Shakespeare Theatre Company

By Whitney White
Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly
Directed by Tyler Dobrowsky & Taibi Magar

Something wicked this way comes… Created by Obie Award-winning artist Whitney White, Macbeth In Stride uses one of the Bard’s most iconic characters to examine just what it means to be an ambitious Black woman. Swathed in a mesmerizing tapestry of pop, rock, gospel, and R&B, the fatalistic arc of Lady Macbeth uplifts contemporary thoughts on Black female power, femininity, rage, and desire. This “spellbinding and strikingly original” (Edge Boston) production bubbles with energy, humor, and swagger, bringing Lady M’s herstory into the 21st century.

Produced in association with Philadelphia Theatre Company
