SUMMARY:Montana Shakespeare in the Parks: Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:  The Tragedy Of Macbeth Legend has it that one of William
	 Shakespeare's best-known plays\, The Tragedy of Macbeth\, is cursed. 
	Many practitioners of the theatre would sooner do just about anything 
	except utter the name of this terrific play while in a theater. The ce
	nturies-old story of the Macbeth curse may originate with Shakespeare'
	s inclusion of witches in the play. These 'Weird Sisters' open the pla
	y and speak prophesy to Macbeth\, who is captivated by the witches\, t
	heir spooky maneuverings and wild incantations. Many have waxed eloque
	nt about the themes in the play that have made it relevant for so long
	. Greed. Lust for power. Betrayal. Most assuredly they are all there i
	n this\, Shakespeare's shortest tragedy\, but the fact of the matter i
	s that Macbeth is the wellspring from which all great thrillers and ho
	rror stories originate. Macbeth and Banquo\, returning from a military
	 victory\, meet three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will be king a
	nd Banquo the father of kings. Might Macbeth actually be king one day?
	 He writes his wife and tells her of the prophecy. A plan is hatched. 
	Lady Macbeth urges her husband to kill the king when he comes to stay 
	with them. Macbeth protests but eventually relents and kills the sleep
	ing King Duncan\, but he is so undone by the deed that Lady Macbeth ta
	kes the bloody dagger and plants it on the servants. Macbeth assumes t
	he throne. In short order Lady Macbeth goes a bit mad. Macbeth fears t
	he witches' prophesy about Banquo and has him killed\, but Banquo's so
	n\, Fleance\, escapes before he gets it as well. Banquo makes a macabr
	e return as a ghost. The witches reappear\, telling him that 'none of 
	woman born shall harm Macbeth.' Macbeth takes this to mean that he's o
	ff the hook\, but he's wrong. And when he realizes it\, it's too late.
	 For audiences\, however\, Shakespeare's Macbeth\, with it's soaring l
	anguage and spellbinding plot\, is as close as it comes to a never mis
	s. Macbeth will be directed by Susan Felder.   Mailing Address:PO Box
