Something wicked this way comes….
The highly acclaimed Icarus Theatre Collective presents a bold and exciting new production of Shakespeare’s most bloody and fear-filled tragedy – Macbeth.
Victorious on the battlefield, Macbeth’s nobility and bravery are rewarded by an indebted king. But with each enemy slaughtered to serve Macbeth’s own vaulting ambition, his lust for power takes a deadly turn until he ferociously usurps the kingdom. His reign, baptized in blood, spirals out of control and Macbeth’s deeds come back to tear him down.
The vicious, barbaric undercurrent in Shakespeare’s epic tragedy erupts in this kinetic, blood-thirsty production that goes straight for the jugular. Blending the original verse with original music and evocative gothic design, this slick new version is perfect for audiences new to Macbeth and those already acquainted with this tragedy.
