ABOUT THE SHOW
What’s done cannot be undone…
In this timely reimagining of Shakespeare’s twisted tragedy, technology takes center stage, driving a tale of jealousy, ambition, and ruin.
This bold new interpretation re-envisions the Witches as sinister algorithms—artificial forces that manipulate "MACBETH" toward his tragic fate.
Directed by Bryn Boice, Associate Artistic Director of CSC, this production of "MACBETH" explores the age-old questions of fate and free will, re-contextualized through the lens of Artificial Intelligence and the dangers of unchecked technological influence.
"MACBETH" is agripping tale for the digital age, where the cost of ambition is higher than ever.
