Here lies Macbeth. Hail. Hail. Hail.
Scotland, 1052. Flames lick high into the pitch black night while thunder and lightning crashes bright. Witches cackle, dance, and call as ravens cry a carrion song. The cauldron bubbles and a plan is brewed to seek revenge on those who rule. All around the broken land weird sisters dance with hand in hand. To see the one they call to heed and follow through the blasphemous deed. The curtains part and lift the veil.
The Sundown Players with Basement Theatre present THE HORROR OF MACBETH, coming to Basement Theatre this Halloween Season.
A tight 75-minute reimagining of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, directed by and starring Laika Rountree as Lady Macbeth opposite Jessica Bennet as the titular Macbeth, experience a sharpened portrayal of the play's witchcraft, prophecy and horror in an immersive experience the moment you step into Basement Theatre.
The Sundown Players
The Sundown Players is a new theatre company, inspired by that magical time of twilight; sundown, when the real becomes fantastical. We endeavor to give audiences transcendent experiences that celebrate that space between. We are built on highlighting queer stories, voices, and talent. Creating accessible theatre that uplifts and inspires queer people, especially young queer people, to play in that space between and know that is beautiful and to stand against its continued discrimination.
