Macbeth

May 13-28, 2016 @ 7:30pm

 St. Paul’s Theater | Old Hat Theatre Company| Brooklyn, NY

Cruel are the times when we are traitors / And do not know ourselves …But float upon a violent sea / Each way and move.

Old Hat’s Macbeth is set in a surreal landscape inspired by the bleak and treacherous no-man’s-land of World War I. We explore the loneliness and distorted morality that emerge from a culture of violence; how war and murder may blur and deform one’s very sense of self.

Directed by Elizabeth Sutton-Stone
Featuring: Billie Aken-Tyers, Sam Bolen,* Brennan Caldwell,* Erin Capistrano, John Ford-Dunker,* James Fouhey, Nathaniel Janis, Jeremy Kotler, Derek Loehr, Eamon Murphy, Mike Newman,  Ali Viterbi and Forrest Weber
*Appearing Courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association. Macbeth is an Equity Approved Showcase.

Tickets: $15-18
