Drama

By William Shakespeare
Adapted and Directed by Marc Silberschatz

Let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds suffer…

When the Macbeths’ world ends, they don’t. Where once there was hope, there is now only a gaping wound. As they desperately look for anything that might save the dream of a life lost, reality splinters, reels and lurches as they careen toward oblivion.

Better be with the dead…
