About
Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival presents Shakespeare's tragedy of ambition and power at the BMO Mainstage in Vancouver, BC, running from June 11 through September 18, 2026. The production follows a Scottish general who, driven by witches' prophecies and his wife's ruthless ambition, commits murder to seize the throne only to spiral into paranoia and destruction. This traditional staging explores one of Shakespeare's most psychologically intense explorations of unchecked ambition and guilt.
