MACBETH by Aquila Theatre "Fair is foul and foul is fair" in this acclaimed British/American touring company's production of Shakespeare's classic tragedy.

In this brutal and chaotic tale, nothing is as it seems and men combat their own madness and fates. A prophecy of power drives the Scottish general Macbeth and his wife along a murderous and maddening path of war, insanity, guilt, and death. Superstitiously referred to as "the Scottish play," Macbeth has enjoyed considerable success despite its notoriety as a cursed play, and Aquila Theatre's bold interpretation works to bring renewed excitement to this wickedly profound work.

Ghosts, witches, and many of Shakespeare's most famous lines make Macbeth one of the most enduring and often performed works of the Bard.

A classically trained, modernly hip troupe, Aquila breathes fresh life and fire into this troubling tragedy, with The New Yorker describing their productions as "The classics made relevant with superb acting and clever staging."
