SUMMARY:MAKBET
DESCRIPTION:Matt Mitler\, Megan Bones\, Yvonne Brechbuhler \n  \nMAKBET\, Dzieci Theatre’s visceral take on Macbeth\, begins when a riotous clan from the “Old Country” greets you with song\, dance\, and divination\, then embarks on a riotous whirlwind of spine-tingling theatrical invention. With feats of astonishing physicality and otherworldly choral chanting\, this ageless tale of greed\, corruption\, and foul deeds\, comes alive through the unflinching performances of a handful of actors who take turns spontaneously trading off parts at the drop of a hat (literally!)\, exploding the very essence of theatre and storytelling. \n  \nhttp://dziecitheatre.org/ \nPreview
