The Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth set in medieval Scotland opens the Monmouth College Theatre season this weekend in the Wells Theatre.
Directed by Professor Todd Quick, Macbeth follows the tragic downfall of a warrior who returns from the war. Three witches offer Macbeth complete control as they see a prophecy that he will one day become king. Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth, then try and make the vision a reality, resulting in a devastating chain of events as they use any means necessary to hold on to power.
Senior Lindsay Logan, who will be playing Lady Macbeth, said “She is a very complex character that you can even empathize with at times…I have never played a morally grey character before, and it is difficult.”
Robert Robison will play the main character, Macbeth. Abby Zayas will be playing Macduff, and Adyson Beebe will be playing Banquo.
The show runs October 9-11 at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are still available online by visiting the Theatre Program website.
