Throughout the centuries, scholars and laymen alike have asked the same questions over and over when examining Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” “What are gallowglasses?”, “Who was the third murderer?”, “When witches dance in the moonlight, do they wear heels?” “Shakespeare for the Modern Man - Lesson 1: Macbeth” answers these questions and more. By simultaneously presenting both a traditional staging of the play and a modern interpretation, “Lesson 1: Macbeth” allows the audience to hear the text in Shakespeare’s terms, and understand it on their own. The play also intentionally strips away much of the Bard’s mystique, finding humor in the darkest corners of Castle Dunsinane. If more young people saw this version of the play, thus understanding the true cost of ambition, I daresay there would be a lot less regicide in the world today.
Two productions, two casts, one stage. “Lesson 1: Macbeth”

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions: the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?
