Macbeth

Something wicked this way comes

CHAMBER MACBETH

By William Shakespeare | Directed by Russ Banham

March 15-April 8, 2007

A ruthless lord seizes the throne with the help of his scheming wife and a trio of mystical witches. Banham, who staged our highly acclaimed production of Othello, draws upon the magic realism of Latin American culture to tell this tale of murder and ambition in an intimate and compelling chamber production.

Banham has arrived at grace…an excellent example of the manner in which Shakespeare, in the right hands, is infinitely made afresh.” – Seattle Weekly

THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL

By Richard Brinsley Sheridan | Directed by Rod Ceballos

June 7-July 1, 2007

The summer will sizzle in Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s masterpiece of mischievousness. Sir Peter Teazle marries a young country girl and is then horrified when she joins a clique of gossiping socialites led by Lady Sneerwell. Behind-the-scenes intrigues, devious relatives, and forked-tongue characters make this a deliciously amusing play.
