Macbeth

Seek to know no more

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Carolyn Galvin

Auditions: October 4–7, 2026
Performances: January 29–February 14, 2027

What if the tragedy of Macbeth was never about ambition alone? In this eerie, fate-driven staging, the witches are not bystanders but architects guiding events with quiet precision. From the first prophecy to the final fall, unseen forces pull at every choice, tightening their hold as reality unravels. Macbeth’s rise to power becomes less a climb and more a descent, as prophecy blurs into manipulation and free will dissolves into design. Through stark imagery and a pervasive sense of otherworldly control, this production asks: who truly pulls the strings?
