MACBETH


By William Shakespeare

Created in Collaboration with Ex Machina

Directed by Robert LePage

Audience Advisory »

“IT WILL HAVE BLOOD, THEY SAY; BLOOD WILL HAVE BLOOD.” 

Three witches speak a prophecy of power to an ambitious warrior. When the prophecies prove true and the bodies pile up, where lies the blame: in prophecy, fate or Macbeth’s own secret desires? What alignment of stars guides the anti-hero Macbeth’s bloody hand? This bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy by visionary director Robert Lepage sets the uncanny action during the biker wars of the 1990s.
 


The 2025 Season is supported by Ophelia Lazaridis.
