Macbeth immediately gains a new title one step removed from the throne. Armed now with a growing ambition, further fueled by his wife, Macbeth’s lust for a power ultimately consumes him. He and Lady Macbeth succumb to paranoid visions, terrifying phantoms, and fragmenting sanity. Aquila Theatre breathes new life and vigorous dramatic fire into this wickedly famous work.
