MACBETH by William Shakespeare Oct. 28th - Nov. 20th, 2016 The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles Studio Space Los Angeles Broadway World Regional Nomination "Best Play 2017" Haunted by the prophecies of three nightmarish witches and bolstered by his ambitious wife, Macbeth's thirst for power propels him down a path of tyranny, murder and madness. Featuring butoh-inspired choreography and gruesome stage combat, Hart's aggressive cut, set in a mythological Scotland, promises to be an unnerving and eerie fusion of classic and modern futility.

"Altogether a tour-de-force of creepiness, that accomplishes another difficult trick--making a very well known play feel fresh. " David MacDowell Blue, Night-Tinted Glasses " This brings us to the hidden genius of the piece: Caitlin Hart, founding artistic director of The Vagrancy. Long known for tight direction and a penchant for exploration, Hart must count this Macbeth among her masterworks." - Mark Hein, Theatre Ghost |
