Summer Festival: Macbeth

Macbeth

July 21-August 6, 2023
Rockwood Park
Directed by AZ Espinoza

The supernatural Weird Sisters lead the Macbeths down a bloody path of ambition and lies in a violent pursuit of power. How will Scotland resist? Can the tide be turned before the country is destroyed?

Join us under the stars for our 21st year of outdoor theatre at beautiful Rockwood Park. One of Shakespeare’s greatest plays will come to life in an innovative production vision.

Presented in partnership with New Castle County Department of Community Services and Matthew S. Meyer, New Castle County Executive.
