Happy opening to ASC's 2024 Summer/Fall production of William Shakespeare's MACBETH, now playing through November 23 at the Blackfriars Playhouse.

Step into an ominous world of witches, warfare, murder, and madness this season with Shakespeare’s gripping examination of the darkest depths of the human condition. This twisted tale begins with a supernatural prophecy that sets in motion a bloody course of events for Macbeth and his Lady as they descend into treachery and turmoil.
