25-26 Macbeth

About the Show

Daggers in men’s smiles. Scorpions in king’s minds. Serpents under flowers. Scotland is infested with paranoia and conspiracy in this high-octane rendition from ASP Artistic Director Christopher V. Edwards.

Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the Macbeths will stop at nothing to grasp their rightful throne — be it assassinating rivals, harnessing psychological warfare, even fracturing reality itself. With classic ASP verve and artistry, this new spin on one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written blurs the lines between free will and control, as the despotic tyrants slowly learn who is really pulling the strings.

With ambition and political intrigue at center stage, ASP is delighted to kick off our 22nd Season with one of the Bard’s most celebrated tragedies.
