July 18 – November 23
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” – ACt 4, SCene 1
Step into an ominous world of witches, warfare, murder, and madness this season at the Blackfriars Playhouse with Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a relentless examination of the darkest depths of the human condition. This twisted tale begins with a supernatural prophecy that sets in motion a bloody course of events for Macbeth and his Lady as they descend into treachery and turmoil. Fueled by their own ambition and encouraged by haunting visitations from three otherworldly figures, the Macbeths cling desperately to their ill-gotten throne, and their sanity, as battle looms and they must face the tragic consequences of their tyranny and betrayal.
Secure your tickets now for this unflinching portrayal of ambition’s destructive path, directed by José Zayas–a gripping experience that will leave you haunted by the gruesome echoes of Macbeth’s undoing.
We will offer a Pay-What-You-Will Preview for Macbeth on Thursday, July 18. Please arrive before curtain and check in with the Box Office to claim your PWYW seat on a first-come, first-served basis. Donations will be accepted after the show.
