Macbeth @ Merrick State Park
August 5, 2023 @ 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
We are more than excited to welcome back the Summit Players to Merrick State Park this summer!
5:30 pm – Workshop | 7:00 pm – Performance
Three witches visit brave warrior Macbeth with a vision of the future: he will be crowned king of Scotland. Determined to do whatever it takes to make this prophecy come true, he embarks on a ruthless quest for power. A web of secrets, trickery and danger entangles Macbeth, his wife Lady Macbeth, his rival Macduff and countless others as he claws his way to the top. Six actors play all the parts in this spooky, free, all-ages play.
The Summit Players use theatre as a learning medium and introduce children to a passion for language, communicating, and constructive play, while providing adults with an enjoyable theatrical experience. The only company in the country focused on touring a production through state parks, the Summit Players build connections between Shakespeare, the outdoors, and fun. To do so, we seek innovative and original ways to perform, to connect the classics to our contemporary time.
FREE EVENT – valid vehicle sticker is required to enter the park.
