About performance
Immerse yourself in another powerful collaboration between Director Andi Chapman and A Noise Within. This new production of Macbeth explores the unraveling of minds and the collapse of a marriage. Set against the haunting backdrop of New Orleans from the late 19th century through the 1920s, this production weaves themes of ambition, fate, and guilt into a world of ancestral rituals and supernatural forces.
Delve deep into the psychological turmoil of a king tortured by guilt, fate, and the corrupting influence of his own desires. This is a dark and profound examination of evil and the power of a guilty conscience.
Content Advisory: Production features fake blood, flashing lights, fog, haze, and depictions of violence.
