ABOUT
Shakespeare’s classic tale – reanimated! Come see Macbeth as you’ve never seen it before. Shakespeare’s language is modernized, but the classic story is still there: ambition, lust, rage, revenge, and zombies.
Macbeth is a great general fighting the zombie hordes, but recent rebellions have turned the few surviving humans against each other. After Macbeth proves his loyalty to the king, Duncan, he receives word from three strange scientists who seem to want to run an experiment on the living and the dead. Macbeth has his chance to be king, but he must first kill his leader. Driven by his desires and the desires of his wife, he discovers that, in hell, the line between dead and undead is shockingly thin. The prophecy drives him to ask the question, who is the real monster: the undead or the man driven by his own ambitions?
