The New Mexico Shakespeare Festival presents Macbeth, directed by Artistic Director Levi Gore, with Assistant Director Alexandra Avila and Stage Manager Donna M. Barra.

Set in the mid-1800s and inspired by New England iconography and American Gothic horror, this production of Macbeth takes audiences on a thrilling 1-hour-and-45-minute journey into the dangers of ambition and the terror of tyranny. Shakespeare’s haunting tragedy follows a celebrated general whose ambition, fueled by both prophecy and his wife’s urging, drives him toward murder and an ever-deepening descent into violence and paranoia.

Featuring sound and music by Owen Danan Martin, lighting design by Riley Lewis, props by Quinten Avila, costumes by Kaylee-Lynora Silcocks Gore, set design by Ryan Jason Cook, and fight choreography by Zane Barker, this promises to be a Macbeth that audiences won’t soon forget.

Join us in costume for a special Halloween performance featuring pumpkin carving before the show, with audience-created pumpkins placed onstage to enhance the evening’s atmosphere.
