SENIOR SCHOOL FALL PLAY - Macbeth
Performances are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, November 3 – 12
Peter R. Kountz Black Box
Macbeth is a gripping 90-minute curated by the Globe Theatre and its resident company. It was created specifically for young people but is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for people of all ages.
On a deserted battlefield, three witches appear to a loyal warrior Macbeth. They tell his fortune and predict his future. This startling encounter unleashes a devastating chain of events that will see him crowned king and use any means necessary to hold on to his power, as the world collapses around him.
This production includes the use of theatrical fog.
