Amid intense civil strife and a decaying social fabric — an insurrection takes hold. In Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, an unexpected prophecy sends Macbeth (Faran Tahir) on a fervent and murderous quest to become the new King of Scotland. A timeless story of ambition versus loyalty and a mainstay of Shakespeare’s canon, our production of Macbeth will be directed by Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s visionary Founding Artistic Director, Steven Maler, and performed for FREE in the heart of Boston at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common.
Performances are FREE of charge. Advanced registration is not required for this summer’s production.
Audience members are permitted to bring modest food items to consume at the show. Alcohol is not permitted on the Boston Common.
Audience members can bring their own blankets or chairs, or can rent chairs online in advance or on-site for $10.
Reserved premium seating in our Friends Section available now, as well as our new Dinner-and-a-Show Packages with Boston Chops Downtown.
