The Theater at Woodshill Presents – Macbeth

“Macbeth is an uncanny unity of setting, plot, and characters, fused together beyond comparison with any other play of Shakespeare’s.” 

-Harold Bloom

Over four hundred years since its original staging, The Tragedy of Macbeth remains one of the world’s most alluring and enduring pieces of dramatic theater—and, as Shakespeare’s shortest tragic work, it remains an unrivaled and unflinching exploration of ambition, power, and fate. Its timeless themes continue to resonate with modern audiences, delving deep into the complexities of the human psyche and the dark consequences of unchecked desire.

For The Theater at Woodshill’s ninth season, Macbeth is the “perfectest” choice, a culmination of our previous excursions into Shakespeare’s tragic art, including Hamlet (2019) and Romeo and Juliet (2023).  Its genre-defining moral conflict and utter poetic beauty poignantly aligns with our company’s dedication to classic, thought-provoking theater. As a company that prides itself on fostering an intimate connection between audience and text, performing in a thrust-style theater, Woodshill provides an ideal environment for Macbeth’s haunting atmosphere. The blend of Shakespeare’s profound insights into the depths of human nature along Woodshill’s commitment to theatrical excellence promises a summer of gripping drama, rooted in the eternal relevance of the Bard’s most haunting work.
