Murder! Prophecy! Witches! And, surprisingly, Love.
The power of a prophecy tempts the ambitious General Macbeth and his passionately persuasive wife to accelerate their rise to royalty. Something wicked this way comes when the real-life husband and wife founders of The Rustic Mechanicals play the original power couple whose vaulting ambition unravels their love—and their lives.
This production of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is part of The Rustic Mechanicals’ 2025 Vaulting Ambition Tour, directed by Jim Warren, with Voice & Text Coach Bridget Rue Esterhuizen, Fight Choreographer Millie Omps, and Dramaturg John S. Shirley.
Production Design by Jason A. Young, Production & Tour Management by Niki DeWitt, and Technical Direction by Seret Cole.
The talented Mechanicals featured in this production include:
Jason A. Young, Sarah Young, Joshua Brooks, Stephen Phillips, Sinead Tobin, Asa Krinov, Aaron Harris, Seret Cole, and Len Batson.
Join us at The Grotto at ArtsAltoona for this thrilling and intimate live performance of one of Shakespeare’s most haunting tragedies.
ABOUT THE TROUPE
Founded in the summer of 2014, The Rustic Mechanicals is the only troupe of actors in the West Virginia dedicated to touring the works of William Shakespeare and other classical playwrights.
The Mechanicals now tour five shows annually, including their summer West Virginia Shakespeare in the Park(s) outdoor tour and script-in-hand productions that we call, “a Play, a Pie, and a Pint,” focusing on making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to modern audiences by utilizing dynamic and extreme casting techniques paired with Shakespeare’s staging conditions.
