MAC BETH

BY ERICA SCHIMIDT
ADAPTED FROM WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S MACBETH

OCTOBER 9 - NOVEMBER 1, 2025 | REGIONAL PREMIERE

An exhilarating adaptation that revitalizes Shakespeare’s classic tragedy‭, ‬Mac Beth‭ ‬infuses the tale of ambition and madness with a vibrant‭, ‬contemporary energy‭. ‬After school‭, ‬seven teenage girls convene in an abandoned lot‭. ‬They drop their backpacks‭, ‬transform their uniforms‭, ‬and dive into a DIY retelling of Macbeth‭. ‬As the girls conjure‭ ‬kings‭, ‬warriors‭, ‬and witches‭, ‬Shakespeare’s bloody tale seeps into their reality‭. ‬Mac Beth‭ ‬recontextualizes a classic text to expose the ferocity of adolescence and the intoxicating power of collective fantasy‭.‬

Mac Beth’s‭ ‬setting amplifies the intensity and immediacy of the story‭, ‬creating an immersive experience that brings new dimensions to the‭ ‬classic narrative‭. ‬This thrilling adaptation‭, ‬that critics have lauded as‭ ‬“vividly reimagined”‭ ‬and‭ ‬“boldly innovative‭,‬”‭ ‬blends timeless drama with a contemporary twist‭, ‬and closes Circle’s 44th‭ ‬season with a captivating exploration of power‭, ‬ambition‭, ‬and identity‭. ‬
