Something wicked this way comes....

ACT's talented teen actors present Macbeth, Shakespeare's tale of one couple's murderous lust for power. The play tells the tragedy of Macbeth, a Scottish general whose encounter with three witches leads him to believe he will one day be king. He and his wife quickly decide to murder the current king to make way for Macbeth himself. Guilt, confusion and more violence follow until Macbeth is ultimately destroyed and peace is restored to Scotland.

After a two-year hiatus, the celebrated New England Shakespeare Company returns! Measure for Measure is Shakespeare's sublimely dark comedy, a classic morality tale on the themes of human frailty, sin and hypocrisy. The play blends comic contradictions and ambiguities with biting social commentary. Join us for this humorous exploration of blind justice, mercy, and the tension between good and evil that resides within every human soul.
