Shakespeare

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.

Runtime: 2 hours and 35 minutes, including one 20-minute intermission*
