According to Abstract Sentiment, Shakespeare's famed story will be "set in a war torn community known as Scotland, at a time when the gears of power are beginning to shift. Families struggle for survival; lords dominate the high-rises and children possess insight and wisdom way beyond their years."
Macbeth: Tim Burton Meets Shakespeare will run from Jan 22-Feb. 1, 2015, at the Alchemical Theatre Laboratory.
The production features a cast lead by Byron Hagan as Macbeth and Julia Menn as Lady Macbeth. The cast also includes Katherine Bianco, Keith Hale, Hunter Hoffman, Rachel Matusewicz, Daniel Montesano, Kal Parekh and Tuquan Smith.
The show will be directed by Nick Hrutkay, with choreography by Sidney Erik Wright, fight choreography by Adele Rylands and lighting design by Natalie Marmol.
