Chicago Shakespeare culminates the 2017/18 season with Macbeth, adapted and directed by Aaron Posner and Teller (of Penn & Teller)-the celebrated creative duo behind CST's The Tempest, winner of the Jeff Award for Best Production in 2015.
Starring Ian Merrill Peakes as Macbeth and Chaon Cross as Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare's psychological thriller immerses audiences in a world of dark magic and ambition, delving into the twisted psyches of the ultimate power-hungry couple.
This haunting drama of political intrigue and personal frailty where "nothing is but what is not" takes the stage of The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, now through June 24, 2018.
