About This Show

Something delightfully wicked this way comes in an international collaboration of direction and design. Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) and Milan’s 250-year-old Colla Marionette Company (CSC) have imagined a visually spectacular interpretation of the Bard’s bloodiest tragedy, MacBeth. CST provides the powerful voices behind CMC’s cast of intricately handcrafted characters in Shakespeare’s descending spiral of treachery and madness. The human and supernatural elements of the story find a natural harmony within the unorthodox staging of this powerful production. One of America’s most respected Shakespeare companies and Italy’s premiere puppet masters illuminate this tale of greed and “murder most foul.”

The 7:00 PM performance on Saturday, April 28 features a signed interpretation for any members of the audience that may be hearing impaired.

Recommended for ages 12 and above.
