MACBETH
“By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes…”
The Three Witches, Macbeth
5 actors, 19 characters, 90 minutes of murder most foul
We’ve cut the Bard’s psychological thriller down to a sizzling 90 minutes. Brilliant young general Macbeth has pulled off a glorious victory in battle, but before he can return to King Duncan’s court, he encounters a most enticing prophecy. Spurred on by his ambitious wife, Macbeth sets his sights on the throne, but as blood must have blood, he soon learns there is no rest for the wicked.

Mobile Shakespeare Comes to You
By Jerry Ruiz. Since I arrived here at PlayMakers in August, one of my major projects has been launching our Mobile Shakespeare initiative. This pilot program follows in the tradition of the original Carolina Playmakers and takes inspiration from the incredibly impactful work of Michelle Hensley and her Minneapolis-based theater company, Ten Thousand Things.
