University of St. Thomas The Fine Arts & Drama Department presents "Macbeth" October 20, 2010

The play runs October 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29 and 30 & November 4, 5 and 6.

Shakespeare’s "Macbeth" is a landscape of beautiful rhythmic language and rich complex imagery. The character Macbeth has contemporary relevance illustrates the deepest and darkest of human realities. The situations, characters, and idioms of Shakespeare’s play raise questions with witch we struggle every day in theory and in practice.

Shakespeare’s "Macbeth" is the mirror that, like a window, connects the past and present and reflects the horrific consequences of greed, selfish ambition and autonomous power.

By staging this timeless text, the Drama Program at UST hopes to be just such a mirror – one in which our culture can see itself both for what it is and what it should be.
