MACBETH
Directed by Katherine Harte-DeCoux
More than just a tale of “vaulting ambition”, Mortal Folly’s Macbeth is not so much a history as a deeply affecting morality tale, an emotional study of humanity risking everything in the name of love and honor, and gravely suffering the consequences. Our adaptation of the Folio takes advantage of Macbeth’s relative brevity to add moments of non-verbal storytelling throughout the play, enriching the story with new perspective on some of Shakespeare’s most well-known roles. Set in a mythical Dark Age of feudal lords and long swords, this story of sorrow, blood, and destiny explores the balance between Fate and Free Will, and offers a personal, passionate and cinematic take on one of the Bard’s greatest tragedies.

That’s me! I was recently cast as Lady Macbeth in Mortal Folly’s production of the Scottish Play. I’m super excited that I’m getting the opportunity to play this role so early on in my career. We started table work last night and this show has the potential to be truly provocative and engaging. It goes up the first 3 weeks in December. Stayed tuned for details.
