Free Shakespeare in the Park: Macbeth

The Bard’s bloody tale of ambition, greed, murder, and fate comes to life this summer with a fresh take set in a galaxy far, far away!

Directed by William Spicer, Firebird’s production of Macbeth will pay homage to sci-fi themes whilst telling one of the darkest tales in the Shakespeare canon.

After a fateful meeting with prophesying witches, valiant warrior Macbeth gives in to his dark side and lets his ambition drive his actions toward the throne of Scotland.

But paranoia soon creeps in, and his fear leads to anger, hate, and eventually, suffering. When fed-up Scottish lords rebel against him, Scotland’s future hangs in the balance between desire and fate.

Join us at the Crested Butte Depot August 24th, 25th, 31st, and Sept. 1st for a spectacle like you’ve never seen! Firebird’s Macbeth will make use of animated projections, a fantastic set painted by local artists, lavish costumes and makeup, and yes, even swords that light up.

Best of all, this production is absolutely FREE to the public! Suggested donations are more than welcome, and we will have food vendors, beer and wine for sale, and fun merchandise available.

If you aren’t familiar with The Depot, this is an outdoor theatre experience. Bring layers, rain gear, a blanket or chair, and a small cooler for snacks or beverage.
