"Macbeth" by the New York Classical Theatre



"Double, double toil and trouble; 
Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
 

Don't miss New York Classical Theatre's 18th season this summer! An incredibly powerful production of Shakespeare's "Macbeth", directed by Stephen Burdman, is playing in Battery Park till 8/20; then in Brooklyn Bridge Park 8/22-8/27 [excluding Thursdays & rainy days]. All performances start at 7pm and are free to attend. Read this glowing and descriptive review by


The Three Witches in front of Castle Clinton, Battery Park

“Fair is foul, and foul is fair" 
 
The Three Weird Sisters and Banquo (Clay Storseth)

Macbeth (Will Dixon) and Banquo (Clay Storseth)
Malcolm (Ian Antal)

"Things without all remedy 
Should be without regard:  
what's done, is done"
Lady Macbeth (Jenny Strassburg) and Macbeth (Will Dixon)

"Come, you spirits. That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full. Of direst cruelty."

"Be this the whetstone of your sword: let grief
Convert to anger; blunt not the heart, enrage it."


 
Macduff (M. Scott McLean) and Malcolm (Ian Antal)

"Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"

 
Mad sleepwalking Lady Macbeth  (Jenny Strassburg)

"Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, 
a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage 
and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, 
full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." 
 
Macbeth (Will Dixon)
