Macbeth
by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
directed by JOE DOWLING
Wurtele Thrust Stage
When three witches utter a surprising incantation — “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter” — a soldier and nobleman’s course is forever altered. Macbeth and his ambitious wife seek to kill King Duncan and usurp the throne. The pair is successful, but their satisfaction is fleeting, and the two embark on a perilous path of destruction. Macbeth is soon haunted by the bloodstained ghost of a former enemy, and the crown grows heavy with the weight of his insecurity and paranoia. Shakespeare’s thrilling story of treachery and ambition explores the relationship between power and corruption, revealing the villainy that can emerge when power is sought.

Play Club: Shakespeare Adaptations
Tuesdays, February 3–24, 1:30–2:30 p.m.
Level Five
From Ovid to Boccaccio to Holinshed’s Chronicles, Shakespeare loved borrowing a good story — so it is fitting that many of his plays have been adapted into new forms throughout the centuries. In this four-week play club, you’ll read scripts from four Bard-inspired adaptations and engage in lively group discussions led by a member of the Guthrie’s Artistic Team. You may attend all four weeks or drop in for individual weeks based on your interests.
Each play club session is free, but registration is required for each individual session.
Schedule and featured plays:
Scripts are available for purchase in the Guthrie Store or at guthriestore.com.
February 3: Fat Ham by James Ijames (2021)
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning retelling of Hamlet, we are transported to a family barbecue in the South, where Juicy is confronted by the ghost of his father. His quest to discover the truth and break the cycles of trauma and violencecreates a journey of love, loss, pain and joy.
February 10: Desdemona by Paula Vogel (1993)
This comic deconstruction of Othello imagines conversations the women in the play would have when the men are not in the room. Vogel’s Desdemona is no innocent victim, but rather a sexually liberated woman seeking knowledge and adventure — however she can find it.
February 17: Une Tempête (A Tempest) by Aimé Césaire (1969)
In this post-colonial examination of The Tempest, Césaire centers Caliban and Ariel as islanders whose world is dismantled when Prospero the colonizer arrives and enslaves them. See The Tempest through a new lens, written by one of the most influential authors and poets from the French-speaking Caribbean.
February 24: Equivocation by Bill Cain (2009)
In England in 1605, a group of conspirators attempted to blow up Parliament. The Prime Minister commissions Shagspere and the King’s Men to write the “true historie” of the plot. Weighing the cost of telling the truth against becoming propagandists, Shag decides to “equivocate,” penning the play Macbeth. This sizzling political thriller brings Jacobean England to vivid life.
