My guests today are Len Falkenstein (Director), Rebekkah Chasse (Lady Macbeth), Scott Shannon (Macbeth), and Mary Walker (Witch), who are all involved in the upcoming Bard in the Barracks presentation of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth. We talk about how to approach iconic characters, and the somewhat disturbing relevance of the story of a tragic, over-ambitious leader.
Macbeth will be staged in the Botanical Gardens in Odell Park.
Bard in the Barracks runs from June 17 to July 7, with Macbeth showing on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays (June 20, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29 and July 2, 3, 6), with a preview performance on June 19. Patrons are advised to arrive by 7:15, with a curtain time of 7:30pm.
