This Is Not Your Grandmother’s Macbeth.

It is contemporary, it is physical, and it is raw. &Sons Theatre’s first production is an exploration of human nature, the structure and effect of power, and how we choose who we are to each other. Using a variety of movement techniques developed by London-based companies, as well as cross-gender casting, Shakespeare’s story of ambition and betrayal becomes more familiar to a modern audience.

The body is the center of the work — what is happening in the limbs, as well as in the head and heart. The sound, the breath, the pleasure, the pain, the emotion, the effort. The characters feel so extremely — they cut their hearts out and show them to us. &Sons’ ensemble’s movement work gives a body to thought, to emotion, and to the unseen.

Actor Alex Reid has crafted a relatable and empathetic Lady Macbeth unseen on most stages. Actress Mairi Chanel as Macbeth, is torn between the profound softness he carries and the vicious demands of the dark path he walks. The deep love and passion their characters share, and the destruction of it, become the centerpiece of the show, rather than either of their individual struggles.

&Sons Theatre's mission is to create insightful, intentional, uncompromising, unconventional theatre. We want to challenge audiences with unfamiliar theatre that includes them and invites them to be part of the conversation.
