Mac Beth

by Erica Schmidt

September 22 – October 1, 2023

University Players' first production this year is Mac Beth

 
A group of high school age girls gathers in an abandoned area to stage an amateur version of Macbeth, but the lines between fiction and reality are blurred as the ruthlessness of adolescence emerges. Using only Shakespeare’s text, Erica Schmidt’s adaptation of Macbeth is at once an empowering story of womanhood, and the gruesome and fatal effects of underlying resentment, anger and competition told within the space of two hours.
 
“It will have blood they say; blood must have blood.” – Mac Beth
 
Recommended Audience: Ages 14+. Violence.
Presented in Essex Hall Theatre
Performances: Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 7:30pm; and Sunday at 2:00pm
Tickets available on the UP website www.universityplayers.com/
