Doma Theater Co. presents Songs for a New World, from composer Jason Robert Brown, creator of the acclaimed musicals 13 and Parade. This is Brown's first theatrical work, originally produced off-Broadway in 1995 and described by the composer as neither a musical nor a revue, but rather a "very theatrical song cycle." The series of songs are thematically connected, illustrating points of major decision in the characters' lives. The songs are performed by four cast members who play different characters throughout. The vocally demanding score is influenced by multiple genres, including pop, gospel, jazz and classical. Learn More
More Information About A Macbeth for Today
Description
The MET Theatre presents an intimate, intense, and immediate production of Shakespeare's Macbeth, set in a modern-day rubble-strewn urban wasteland resembling post-Katrina New Orleans or Baghdad.
The pursuit of power is as potent today as it was in ancient Scotland and Macbeth depicts the struggle between honor and ambition, good and evil as the witches tempt Macbeth with ultimate power and the cunning Lady Macbeth prods him to murder.
In Shakespeare's shortest tragedy, Macbeth discovers too late that power achieved by bloodshed can only be maintained by more bloodshed.
