ABOUT HAMLET ISN’T DEAD’S MACBETH
Even the strongest communities can be torn apart when individuals choose their own power over the good of the clan. Hamlet Isn’t Dead explores Shakespeare’s famous tragedy through a collectivist lens in this rollicking assembly of movement, music, and murder.
Join our band of Weird Sisters, punk rockers by night, tarot readers by day as they encounter brave Macbeth and his wise companion Banquo and reveal heavenly secrets about their fated greatness. Spurred on by ambitious Lady Macbeth, our “hero” murders royal Duncan, but spirits have a way of returning to this world stronger than before. Who can end Macbeth’s tyrannical rule? Is it pragmatic Macduff or the flamboyant heiress Malcolm? How much more will Scotland have to endure to shake off the fiend of Cawdor?
Don your favorite flannel or denim vest and immerse yourself in this crusty, crunchy folk-punk world…but beware…something wickHID this way comes…
