About the Show

The Art House Theatre and Film Collective presents a new staging of Shakespeare's bloody tragedy.

A Scottish general Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Spurred to action by his wife and the promise of power, he murders King Duncan and takes the throne for himself. Consumed by guilt and paranoia, Macbeth spirals downward on a journey of murder and violence that leaves few unscathed. As the tyrannical ruler rises we see the ripple effects throughout the land. The bloodshed and civil war that follow take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the deepest the realms of madness.

Content Warning: This production features scenes of with brief strobe lighting and stage gun violence.

Critic Reviews (1)

"A production focusing on the titular character's madness and the military context surrounding many of the play's events. The result is an expressive, macho rendition that, at times-because it's so involved in the passion it's trying to generate-fails to clearly tell the story…The actors shift about awkwardly, abandoning clear recitation. The performance space…is never activated nor made cogent. At times, the actors speak facing upstage...a definite distraction."
