00:00I would describe this production of Macbeth as brutal, as exciting, thrilling.
00:06It's like a production of Macbeth you've never seen before.
00:08I was really drawn to this idea that every individual is built by their community.
00:13It seems that so many of our leaders are drawn to the concept of power.
00:17And when I look at Macbeth I see that this is a man whose ambition comes from
00:22either a love or a hate of those around him.
00:26I would love audiences to walk away from Macbeth feeling
00:28invigorated and thrilled, like they've been through an exciting experience.
00:32But I also want them to leave questioning what role they might be playing
00:36in the community that they live in.
00:38I love the Upstage program.
00:39I think it's so important for bringing new voices to the theatre community
00:44and also bringing together voices that may not have ever met before.
00:48I think that it's always such an interesting collection.
00:50If you think you know Macbeth, I can guarantee you don't.
00:53Come and see this new production.
