Description:

Performers wanted for "Macbeth" play. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Shakespeare's Macbeth is a tragedy exploring the corrosive nature of absolute power, the drive for legacy, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Spurred by prophecy and their own desires, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth seize the throne through violence, setting Scotland on a path of fear, bloodshed, and tyranny. As their rule unravels, the people of Scotland rise up to reclaim their country. This production is set in medieval Scotland and draws on the universality of Shakespeare to reference the current political climate in America. Rate: Non-paid. Additional info: Callbacks by invitation: Wednesday, August 12, 7:00–10:00 PM. Callbacks will consist of sides from the script, provided when invitations are announced. Actors unable to attend in person may arrange a video submission by email. Prepare one classical monologue, approximately 1–2 minutes in length. Shakespeare strongly preferred.
