William Shakespeare’s legendary MacBeth, a tragic story of lust for power and murder in ancient Scotland, will take the stage at Texas State University-San Marcos for an early April run. One of Shakespeare’s darkest plays, MacBeth follows the titular character as he begins a bloody descent into madness in an unfettered quest for power. Goaded by his wife’s ruthless ambition and the ominous prophecies of three witches, MacBeth murders his guest, King Duncan, in an attempt to seize control of Scotland. But coups are rarely tidy affairs, and MacBeth watches the body count rise and his grip on sanity slip as one-time allies rise up to oppose him. This particular production takes place in 12th century Scotland (aka Braveheart) and is extremely technically advantageous. This is the largest show Texas State has produced in at least five years (with 26 actors, seven intense stage fights, over 400 costume pieces, five fog machines, magical lighting and sound effects and giant towering trees that line the stage) and will prove to be a memorable event for all spectators.
