Shakespeare & Company present "Macbeth," the bard's classic tragedy, at HVCC
The renowned Shakespeare & Company of Lenox, MA, presents “Macbeth,” the classic tragedy that dramatizes the damage caused by the political ambition of those who seek power for its own sake. Always in the top 10 of Shakespeare’s most-produced plays, “Macbeth” tells the story of a brave general who is told by three witches that he’ll one day be King of Scotland. Driven by ambition and his wife, Macbeth murders the king to claim the throne. His ensuing guilt and paranoia lead to further violent murders, a tyrannical bloodbath that leads to insanity and, ultimately, death for the power-hungry couple. The performance is a highlight of the company’s week-long residency – now in its 14th year – with students in HVCC’s Theatre Arts degree program that includes a variety of acting and theatre workshops guided by company members. “Macbeth” is part of the troupe’s Northeast Regional Tour of Shakespeare that's brought rotating plays to middle and high schools, colleges and other community venues since 1982. This free, 90-minute performance will be held in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre and is recommended for ages 13 and up. Sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Program, it coincides with the winter vacation week observed by most public schools. A brief audience Q&A follows the performance. Reservations requested at www.hvcc.edu/culture.
