Macbeth
Sorcery and fate, ambition and honor, cunning and bravery fight for dominance in Something for Nothing Theater's 2018 fall production of Shakespeare's MACBETH directed by Mary Beyer. In a land where witches prophesy the fall of dynasties, ghosts lurk among the dinner guests, and families are forced to flee their homes, the promise of power has driven one former soldier to unthinkable corruption. Can Scotland survive the reign of Macbeth?

A word from the director:
"Macbeth is the show that – even if you don’t know Shakespeare, even if you hate Shakespeare – if you were to sit down and watch it tomorrow, you’d recognize half a dozen of these lines as something you say in your day-to-day life and you never realized was Shakespeare. It’s familiar, and it’s an exciting moment to take something that’s familiar—that has stood the test of time because it tells a story we keep seeing play out over and over—and then to blow it out into this current moment, where questions of power and questions of entitlement and questions of what someone deserves, and what ends justify what means are playing out on such a huge scale, and sparking these conversations that so many of us didn’t expect to be having. So it’s an exciting moment to grapple with the story, with these relevant themes."
