The Story

A brave Scottish general is confronted by three witches who prophesy that he will become king. To force that prediction to come true, he turns his back on his own identity as a good man and a loyal soldier to pursue a path of escalating desolation for himself and his country. Macbeth reveals the self destructive nature of evil, and asks us to explore whether darkness could overwhelm the light in our own lives.

The Tour

Produced by Apocalyptic Artists in collaboration with Red Bull Theater, Macbeth toured schools in the New York City area, providing students with a live theatrical experience. Employing minimal design, vibrant music, and supported by in-school workshops, a company of actors transformed familiar school spaces – classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums - into Scotland.
