WHERE: The MAC Black Box Theater | 645 W. Main Street, Merced
WHAT: Macbeth/Rewired deconstructs Shakespeare's famous tragedy through the frameworks of gendered violence and rising political authoritarianism. The play examines the figure of the witches, a historically marginalized gender, as they transform through literary and pop culture incarnations, such as Atwood's handmaids and Tarantino's assassin nurses. The play also examines the figure of Macbeth, a genre defining film and TV antihero, and examines the parallel between his murderous capacities and the current political landscape.
