Whenever I have seen a Shakespearian piece at Hart House Theatre in Toronto, I have been impressed. I expect the same from Macbeth, running November 9 to 26, 2011.
One of Shakespeare’s most famous pieces, Macbeth is the unhappy tale of a man who wants to be king and is willing to kill for it. Even if you haven’t read or seen the show, you’re bound to have heard someone quote “is this a dagger I see before me?” or “Out, out damn spot!” Now you get to hear them in context rather than out of the blue. By the way, technically the quote is “Out, damned spot! out, I say!” but no one seems to use that when stating it out of the blue.
You also may have heard that actors, a suspicious bunch, aren’t willing to say Macbeth in a theatre, and instead refer to it as “The Scottish Play”. See, the show is purported to bring bad luck, and there is speculation that the words uttered by the witches in the piece are a true incantation. It’s spooky interesting stuff. You should check it out and judge for yourself.
The show opens tomorrow (Wednesday November 9th) and runs until November 26. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students & seniors, with a special student price of $10 on Wednesdays. The show runs Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8pm, and in the last week there is also a Saturday matinee at 2pm.
