Macbeth is the first production that we talked about when starting Burbage Theatre Co back in May of 2010. Now, eleven years later, were thrilled to kick off our first season and to bid adieu (hopefully) to the mandated digital content of the COVID-19 era, with good dark fun and a project weve had in mind the whole time, just through a different medium. One last digital project to launch us back into live theatre this fall.One recommendation: if youre not going to join us in person, for full effect consider watching our Macbeth at night, in the quiet and the dark. So quiet that you might listen for the growl of some unseen beast, just beyond your reach in the sightless dark... By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.Burbage Theatre Cos film adaptation of Macbeth will be released for free on YouTube from September 30 at 8pm through October 31 at 11:59pm. Digital Feature Film EventMACBETHby William Shakespeare(September-October) William Shakespeares hauntingly fearful tale of witchcraft, blood,and ambition is brought to both the big and small screen by Burbage Theatre Co this fall. This is not a Zoom play reading. Burbage has produced a full-length feature film adaptation of Macbeth and will stream it for free on Youtube in the month of October. Theres a right way and a wrong way to do Shakespeare and certainly a right and a wrong way to introduce modern touches without ruining the beauty of the language and action and then there is the Burbage way, which could actually ruin audiences for any other company. Providence JournalIf youre a Burbage fan, you know what to expect: a well-acted, artfully staged production. The TimesBurbage Theatre Co is making Shakespeare come alive.
