After receiving a prophecy that he will become King, the brave warrior Macbeth is consumed by ambition. Encouraged by Lady Macbeth, he embarks on a ruthless path of murder, betrayal, and paranoia that spirals into violence and madness. Filled with unforgettable characters, supernatural forces, and some of Shakespeare's most iconic language, Macbeth remains one of the greatest tragedies ever written.
This production of Macbeth is set in the Appalachian Mountains, drawing on the striking parallels between Appalachian and Scottish folklore. Millions of years ago, the Appalachian Mountains and the Scottish Highlands were part of the same mountain range before the continents separated as Pangaea broke apart. While the landscapes evolved on opposite sides of the Atlantic, many of the stories that grew from them remained remarkably similar—filled with witches, spirits, omens, and a deep respect for the power of the natural world.
