"Blood has been shed ere now, i' the olden time...and since, too, murders have been perform'd." -Macbeth

War and the struggle for power in a modern age.

Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy of one man’s rise to power, leaving a trail of blood and bodies in his wake, has spanned the centuries. In New Rep On Tour’s contemporary version, the play’s backdrop is the recent Bosnian War, where the warriors and weapons resemble an action movie instead of the middle ages. Macbeth’s bloodthirsty tale of power, revenge, and ultimate downfall, when placed in this modern context, heightens our awareness of what it is to live in a warlike state.

On Monday, April 5, 2010 at 7:30pm we invite New Rep patrons, donors, and theater aficionados to join us for a special performance of NEW REP ON TOUR’s production of Macbeth . 

A $20.00 donation is suggested for this performance. All proceeds go towards NEW REP ON TOUR.

Please call the Box Office at 617-923-8487 to reserve tickets or for more information.
