Butler Theatre: Macbeth

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Andrés Lopéz

A prophecy. A violent seizure of power. A swift, intense fall from the heights of said power. The eponymous character Macbeth, encouraged by his wife Lady Macbeth and fueled by a prophecy telling him he will be King of Scotland, stops at nothing to ascend the throne. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, however. Feeling the mounting pressures of ruling, both real and imagined, Macbeth begins eliminating others to secure his position and solidify his status. This fresh take on Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy presented in the intimate Lilly Hall Studio Theatre allows audiences to be part of the action!
