The tragedy of MacBeth is a cautionary tale of murder, greed, and the fruitlessness of ambition, and is one of Shakespeare's most well-known and widely read plays. It follows the story of MacBeth (Ryan Clements), a nobleman and war captain, who happens upon three witches (Bri Wenger, Avril Martinez, Cady Rutherford) who promise him the title of king. He shares this information with his ruthlessly ambitious wife (Melissa Barcroft) who then sets in motion a series of lies and murders to gain what was promised. Soon the crown and the blood shed to gain it begin to wear heavily on both husband and wife and we watch as their ill-gotten gains drive them to madness and more bloodshed and the country descends into chaos. The only hope of redemption lies in the rightful heir to the throne, Malcolm (Skylar Kovach) and the unfailingly honest and loyal nobleman, MacDuff (Michael Burmudez).

This 60-minute version is directed by student Stephanie Fanning. Tickets are a $10 donation and will go toward sending CBC theatre students to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Reno, Nevada.

How her flight through a communicating door brings her face to face with her own past and with Ruella who apparently died under suspicious circumstances 20 years earlier.
