MACBETH

Macbeth

by William Shakespeare
Directed by Paul Mullins

Dark, bloody, brutal, and magnificent, William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is one of the greatest plays ever written. Its central couple, ironically, is one of Shakespeare’s happiest. At least at the beginning. Macbeth explores what we become when our second half is ripped away. A powerful unit, wildly in love with each other, the Macbeths follow the insinuations of the witches – the famous weird sisters – and commit murder in the name of their shared ambition: the throne of Scotland. But even with their goal achieved, Macbeth’s paranoia and guilt lead him further down the road of blood. The central unit tears apart under the shadow of its deeds. Who are these two without each other? Slowly and surely, the play shows us society’s ruin in the form of its leading pair.

Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s production of Macbeth stars Dan Donohue in the title role and Paige Lindsey White as Lady Macbeth.
