Macbeth

Playwright: William Shakespeare


Evoking a time of scarcity, fear, and survival-of-the-fittest, Macbeth is a fascinating exploration of the power of suggestion, the question of free will versus fate, and the perils of unbridled ambition. Through Macbeth’s journey from loyal commander to murderous usurper we experience how a hero can fall when that hero sacrifices friendship, empathy and her moral code in favor of the pursuit of personal gain and absolute power.

“I have done no harm. But I remember now
I am in this earthly world, where to do harm
Is often laudable, to do good sometime
Accounted dangerous folly.”
