Overview

Macbeth

A Shakespeare in the City Production in collaboration with The Newtowne Players

Set in the vibrant Jazz Era, this adaptation of Macbeth reimagines Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy in a world of smoky nightclubs and dangerous ambition. Entranced by the hypnotic songs of enigmatic singers, Macbeth hears only what fuels his desires. With his wife’s persuasive influence, the two embark on a ruthless pursuit of power, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.

By William Shakespeare
Adapted By Ariel Hulvey
