Miles Memorial Playhouse (Santa Monica, CA)
Even at a time when charismatic antiheroes are all the rage — especially on cable TV — Macbeth still reigns supreme. More underhanded than Frank Underwood, more cunning than Michael Corleone and more desperate than Walter White, the Scottish general-turned-king remains the most enthralling example of ambition run amok and authentic talent corrupted … one compromise at a time. Set in a gloomy world of ghosts and witches, the tragedy’s bloody cycle of corruption and betrayal is thrown into motion when the popular King Duncan of Scotland is murdered by Macbeth, his trusted friend. Egged on by his wife, Macbeth goes on to claim his “destiny” — at a terrible price. This production of Shakespeare’s thrilling play is performed by Colonials, an American Shakespeare Company, at Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica.
