Rustic Mechanicals Presents: Macbeth

William Shakespeare’s MACBETH

Murder! Prophecy! Witches! …and, surprisingly, Love!

The power of a prophecy tempts the ambitious General Macbeth and his passionately persuasive wife to accelerate their road to royalty. 

Something wicked this way comes when the real-life husband and wife founders of the Rustic Mechanicals play the original power couple whose vaulting ambition unravels their love and their lives.
