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, but heavy is the head that wears the crown…
Butler Theatre’s production of Macbeth is directed by Andrés López with special attention to the production’s fight choreography and weapons work.
