Shakespeare Dallas presents a classical staging of Macbeth at The Norma Young Arena Stage at Theatre Three Jan. 17-Feb. 1. The indoor Shakespeare in the Round production is directed by Jenni Stewart, and stars Bryan Pitts as Macbeth and Natalie Young as Lady Macbeth. Also referred to superstitiously as “The Scottish Play,” this Shakespearean tragedy involves three witches telling a Scottish general that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth slays the king and becomes the new king, resulting in civil war and deep unrest.
The approximate run time is 1 hour and 45 minutes with a 10-minute intermission. The show begins at 8 p.m. for evening shows and 2:30 p.m. for Saturday and Sunday matinees, with the house opening thirty minutes before each show. Tickets cost $20 for students, $26 for members, $30 for seniors, and $38 for general admission. In addition, $15 discounted rush tickets will be available at the box office thirty minutes before the start of each performance.
