Macbeth remains one of the Bard's most popular pieces because, at its core, the play touches upon a piece of humanity that is uncomfortably relatable. This coming production hopes to cut away the emotionally stunted masculinity and militarism that can dominate the piece. We will instead explore the simplicity and ease of losing yourself to ambition, the trauma of no longer recognizing the person you love most, the crossroads in a story where insanity and supernatural horrors merge, and even the notes of humor that can hang in the air above a tragedy. Colorful, engaging, visually intriguing witches will clash with the lives and fates of grim, gray-scale soldiers. Two lovers will watch their lives disintegrate. And behind it all lies the eerie Birnam Wood (or rather the trees by the Center for Renaissance Studies). Come play in the woods!
Tickets are also available at Broadside Books in Northampton and at Amherst Books in Amherst.
Weather Considerations:
We make every possible effort to stay outdoors, including performing in light rain, but we will move to our on-site indoor location in the event of prohibitively inclement weather. If this happens, we will issue a rain voucher to all audience members that will allow them to attend any one outdoor performance in the season free of charge.
