THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS CURSED PLAY EMBRACES ITS DARK ROOTS WITH CUE ZERO THEATRE COMPANY’S MACBETH

Necormancy, political assassinations, falsified prophiecies, and many other dark and evil happenings are explored in Artistic Director Dan Pelletier’s female-driven interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. “It can be argued that all of the important action of the play is motivated by the ambitions and desires of Lady Macbeth,” states Pelletier, “and I want to lean into that; make her the central focus and maybe even the cause of every plot point. I’ve also always had an obsession with the paranormal and have been dying to do a piece where I can embrace that, so by accentuating the dark arts of the witches (and reimaging Lady Macbeth as a practitioner of witchcraft herself) I can finally achieve that dream.”
