Final Script by Sunghyun Lim
In the darkness, three witches whisper... “Hail Macbeth! He who shall be king!” Sweet yet bitter, thrilling yet agonizing—the witches’ prophecy sets Macbeth on a path where fair and foul become one and the same. The legendary warrior now stands at a crossroads, caught in the battle between ambition and fate. Will Macbeth triumph in his war against desire? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But for now, grab a handful of popcorn and chant the spell with us: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair!”
* The Curse of Macbeth: A centuries-old superstition haunts Shakespeare’s tragedy, Macbeth. The legend warns: Never utter the name “Macbeth” inside a theatre. To do so invites disaster. The true origin of the curse remains unknown, but one theory stands out: the Witch’s Curse. According to legend, Shakespeare borrowed real incantations from actual witches, angering them so much that they cursed the play for all eternity. But don’t worry. We don’t believe in superstitions. Absolutely not afraid.
Content Advisory: This play contains scenes with slurs, mockery, profanity, personal attacks and violent language. Audience discretion is advised.
