The Frog & Peach Theatre Company is set to present William Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy, Macbeth, from Friday, March 6 to Sunday, March 29 at The Cullum Theatre. Lynnea Benson directs.
The company, known for innovative interpretations of classical plays, delves into the dark themes of grievance, murder and seduction that not only defines one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works, but resonates profoundly with contemporary society. Macbeth’s ruthless vengeance and brutal grab for control mirrors the complexities of modern-day crimes within the realms of politics, drug cartels and international media. By drawing parallels between the play and contemporary issues, the show will ignite meaningful conversations about ambition and morality in our society.
The roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth will be portrayed by DazMann Still and Amy Frances Quint. The cast also includes Anuj Parikh, Bruno Giraldi, Chase Cortland Erwin, David Arthur Bachrach, David Elyha, Eric Doss, Erica Cafarelli, Fernando Gamarra, Hari Bhasksar, Jaixa Irizarry, Nina David, Pedro Vierre, Sashank Gummella, Steven Ungar and Vivien Landau (SHIVA BABY).
