MACBETH

Oak Park Festival Theatreperforms timeless plays in distinctive spaces and creates empowering educational programming, both of which foster dialogue, strengthen relationships, and explore the depth of the human experience.Founded in 1975, Oak Park Festival Theatre is the Midwest’s oldest professional classical outdoor theater.  Our unique partnership with the Park District of Oak Park allows us to produce Shakespeare and other theatre masters each summer in idyllic Austin Gardens in the heart of downtown Oak Park.  When not outdoors, we perform in other historic venues such as Pleasant Home and Cheney Mansion, also operated by the Park District of Oak Park.

Oak Park Festival Theatre

<P>Macbeth, Shakespeare's shortest and bloodiest tragedy, full of exciting sword-fights, tells the story of a brave Scottish general (Macbeth) who receives a prophecy from a trio of sinister witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed with ambitious thoughts and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and seizes the throne for himself. He begins his reign racked with guilt and fear and soon becomes a tyrannical ruler, as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. The bloodbath swiftly propels Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to arrogance, madness, and death. It is a sharp, jagged sketch of theme and character; it has shocked and fascinated audiences for nearly four hundred years. </P>
