Rapp Center for Education

Step into an ominous world of witches, warfare, murder, and madness this season at the Blackfriars Playhouse with Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, a relentless examination of the darkest depths of the human condition. This twisted tale begins with a supernatural prophecy that sets in motion a bloody course of events for Macbeth and his Lady as they descend into treachery and turmoil.

Note: Four classroom sessions will meet at RappCE at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, October 22 and 29, November 5 and 12. Participants will ride in carpools or a passenger van to Staunton, VA, on a selected date, tentatively Sunday, November 17, for a 2 p.m. performance. Enrollees may purchase tickets to the performance at the first class for approximately $60-$70. Copies of the play will be ordered and purchased before the first class as needed.
