Macbeth
American Shakespeare Center
www.americanshakespearecenter.com
January 10 - March 29
Thrilling, violent,
and deeply tragic. From the first words of the play until the title
character
loses his head, Shakespeare's shortest tragedy is his most unrelenting
examination of the dark side of man. Driven to bloody deeds by their
lust for
power, Macbeth and his Lady tragically struggle to hold on to their
ill-gotten throne, to their sanity, and to each other. Click here
for schedule and
ticketing information.
