Set in a time of factional wars, when believers blamed their defeats on enchantments and diabolical forces, William Shakespeare Company's 'Macbeth' delves into the themes of 'evil' and violence in order to demystify the characters in the story. Director Jose Carrasquillo explores the darkness driving the action and reveals the bare essentials of human experience in Shakespeare's most chilling tale. Helen Hayes winning actress Lee Mikeska Gardner takes the stage as Lady Macbeth, alongside Helen Hayes nominees Kathleen Akerley and Christopher Henley.
