Macbeth, a brave Scottish general, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. The play follows this loyal soldier as he seeks the crown regardless of consequences, asking the question what happens when ambition subverts reason in an honorable and loyal man?

"Vociferous songbirds and croaking frogs accompanied productions of Macbeth when the Classic Theater San Antonio performed in the pavilion Oct. 2-11, said Kelly Roush, general and artistic director. The Classic Theatre then moved its famously dark Shakespeare play to the Lone Star Pavilion of the Espee, formerly Sunset Station, with two remaining performances today and tomorrow."

Broadway officials announced their shutdown will be extended again until May 30, 2021, on Friday. However, in the Alamo City, the Classic Theatre of San Antonio is one week into their production of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” The theatre teamed up with the San Antonio Botanical Garden to host outside live productions...Since then, the theater has been conducting virtual rehearsals and planning for its return.

"Asked what part of the play he likes best, Stillwaggon mentions the moment when Macbeth, “after doing the wrong thing, runs to his wife to get sympathy and soothing. That’s actually something that a couple does,” noted the actor. “Also, there’s a sort of satisfaction, as the play approaches the end, when Macbeth’s conflict is gone. Though he has lost his moral compass, it’s satisfying to watch because he’s no longer conflicted.”
