Macbeth
Spurred by witches' prophecies and his wife's ambition, a Scottish general murders his way to the throne and descends into paranoia and ruin.
Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy continues to captivate audiences with its lean, propulsive staging-the play's short length and relentless pacing make it a favorite for stripped-down productions that emphasize the psychological horror of ambition over elaborate spectacle, a trend evident across 2026 productions spanning regional theaters and festival stages throughout North America. This page helps you locate live performances of happening in the U.S. and Canada this year, so you can experience how different companies interpret the witches, the murder scenes, and Macbeth's descent into tyranny and madness.
