Macbeth In Stride
A dazzling theatrical event created and performed by Obie Award-winning artist Whitney White with a live band, "Macbeth In Stride" examines what it means to be an ambitious Black woman through the lens of one of Shakespeare’s most iconic characters. The first of White’s five part series commissioned by A.R.T. excavating the women from Shakespeare’s canon, the production uses pop, rock, gospel plus R&B to trace the fatalistic arc of Lady Macbeth while lifting up contemporary Black female power, femininity and desire. Directors Tyler Dobrowsky and Taibi Magar ("We Live in Cairo") co-stage this groundbreaking world premiere.
