Summary:

Houston, TX— Something wicked this way comes... This last and darkest of Shakespeare’s tragedies brings us into a world of murder, temptation and treachery. A chilling tale of greed and corruption unfolds as we watch Macbeth transform from war hero to bloody tyrant. Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, the madness of Lady Macbeth, ghostly apparitions, and prognosticating witches provide a sinister backdrop to this savage political thriller.

Director of Theatre Christina Keefe will direct her first production for Rice University’s Theatre Program. Keefe has been a professional actor and director for over 20 years, working both in New York and regionally in the U.S. For Rice University, Christina has produced a wide range of shows from The Threepenny Opera (a collaboration with the German Studies Department) to Noises Off. She has taught acting, voice, movement, and directed for Duke University, Lehigh University, University of Houston, Muhlenberg College and DeSales University. Christina has also served as Artistic Associate at both the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and The Warehouse Theatre.
