Macbeth

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts 565 Camano Avenue Langley, WA, 98260 United States (map)

By William Shakespeare

Directed by David Churchill

Shakespeare’s thrilling drama is perhaps, alongside Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment,” the greatest psychological investigation of the murderous guilty conscience in literature. The shortest of Shakespeare’s tragedies, it catapults its audience through Scottish battlefields; pestilent, witch infested bogs; a castle whirling with supernatural forces; and a succession of murders that lead to a final, climactic battle and an overthrow of power.

Seduced and coerced by his wife to murder their benevolent king, Macbeth at once regrets their choice, and the couple descends into a sleepless world haunted by ghosts and embattled nerves, where the psyche, imprisoned by reverberating guilt, consumes its conscience, ultimately destroying itself. Set in raw, brutal, 11th century Scotland, the production aims to honor the complexity of Shakespeare’s text, with its dualities of blunt male power/female stratagems, Christian/pagan themes, darkness/light, and falsehood/
authenticity, all within the beauty and power of his poetry.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
