Actors Circle presents Macbeth, William Shakespeare’s great classic tragedy, directed by Judith Mulder, at Providence Playhouse, 1256 Providence Road in Scranton.

In the play, a brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to violence by his wife, Macbeth murders the king and takes the Scottish throne for himself. Then, racked with guilt and paranoia, he commits more violent murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, soon becoming a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath swiftly ends badly for both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth who driven by overwhelming guilt and regret turns to madness and death, Macbeth soon follows.

Show dates are January 16, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 2024. Fridays and Saturdays at 7PM. Sundays at 2PM.
