Irving Community Theater presents two productions and two casts on one stage … it’s Shakespeare for the Modern Man – Lesson 1: Macbeth, written and directed by Scott A. Eckert.

Throughout the centuries, scholars and laymen alike have asked the same questions over and over when examining Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” “What are gallowglasses?”, “Who was the third murderer?”, “When witches dance in the moonlight, do they wear heels?” Shakespeare for the Modern Man – Lesson 1: Macbeth answers these questions and more. By simultaneously presenting both a traditional staging of the play and a modern interpretation, Lesson 1: Macbeth allows the audience to hear the text in Shakespeare’s terms, and understand it on their own. The play also intentionally strips away much of the Bard’s mystique, finding humor in the darkest corners of Castle Dunsinane.

Recommended for audiences aged 13 and over.
