WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
William Shakespeare's Macbeth, directed by Rupert Goold and starring Patrick Stewart, comes to Broadway for 64 performances only! The current sold out engagement at BAM ends on Saturday, March 22.
In one of Shakespeare's greatest dramas, Patrick Stewart plays Macbeth-a man utterly determined to obtain the royal crown. Aided by his even more ambitious and ruthless wife, Macbeth murders the king and a comrade only to lose everything by the play's end.
In his New York debut, Rupert Goold takes inspiration from Stalin's Great Terror and directs this psychological and chilling tragedy in a stark, austere production that places Macbeth in a timeless, nameless, and lawless country.

Rupert Goold's production of
Macbeth has arrived at BAM waving a reputation as the best interpretation of William Shakespeare's bloody Scottish play that London critics have been served in donkey's years. And, yes, it's something to see, all right. Snag tickets for it in any way possible.
Watching Goold's macabre take on the Bard's familiar tale of vaulting ambition and corrosive guilt is like groping through a carnival funhouse and whispering to a happily thrilled-and-chilled companion, "Ooh, look at that, and look at that over there and, hey, look at this here!"
