What is the show about?

The Tragedy of Macbeth 
By William Shakespeare 
Adapted by D Wilkerson 

Step into a chilling reimagining of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, where ambition, prophecy, and betrayal unfold beneath moonlit tombstones. Adapted by D. Wilkerson, this haunting production is set in a shadowed cemetery, blending classic verse with eerie Halloween atmosphere. Ghosts linger, witches whisper, and the line between the living and the dead begins to blur as Macbeth’s ruthless rise consumes all in its path. Dark, immersive, and visually striking, this is a Macbeth that will leave audiences thrilled, unsettled, and spellbound.

The Tragedy of Macbeth contains some mature content and may not be appropriate for all patrons.
Content warning includes some choreographed violence, suicide, and death.
Recommended audience is 14 and up.
