Mack, Beth at Keegan Theatre

Shakespeare's Macbeth is all the more shocking because the murderous protagonist isn't a robot from outer space or someone altogether unrelatable -- he's an ordinary person with an extraordinary desire for power. Now the Bard's greatest tragedy hits even closer to home in Mack, Beth, a thoroughly modern retelling of the classic tale of temptation, ambition and betrayal. A world premiere from two-time Helen Hayes-nominated playwright Chris Stezin, Mack, Beth takes the phrase "power couple" to a whole new level. Experience all the intrigue of the original while reveling in updates for the digital age when Mack, Beth comes to the Keegan Theatre in Washington, D.C.
