Polarity Ensemble Theatre reimagines its very first production, Macbeth as a neoshamanistic explosion of ritual magic, the beating of drums and martial arts battles. Discount and comp tickets are available through the beginning of March. Shakespeare’s classic play is given a wild, millennial edge that is both modern and primitive at once. A bloodthirsty cycle of corruption and betrayal is set in motion when three witches cast a circle of magic to the beat of drums and wafts of incense. Like ritual priestesses, they draw in Macbeth, the ambitious warrior who would be King. Macbeth achieves the power he believes he deserves, but the price is high. He must contend with his conscience, his ambitious wife and the influence of the mysterious witches, who encourage the evil inside him, helping it blossom, so that it can be purged, purifying the Kingdom.
