Shotspeare will present a new production of Macbeth for four performances only at The Slipper Room, beginning October 28. Performances will also take place October 29, November 2, and November 9.

Shotspeare "incorporates a drinking-game sensibility and a drunkard's attention span into the staging of Shakespearean verse." Previously, the company toured globally with Shotspeare: Romeo and Juliet, performing in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Australia.

The cast features Brian David Sloan, Heidi Brucker Morgan, Timur Kocak, Billy Marshall Jr., and Matthew Morgan, who also serves as director. Rachel Moll serves as stage manager.

According to the Shotspeare website, "Shotspeare is a cast of Shakespearean bandits who love to drink, wield swords, wear tights and speak the speech. We present Shakespeare to the workingman, the poor student, the bachelorette, the scholar, the soccer mom and the barfly; and we always encourage our audiences to drink responsibly."
