DUNSINANE

Being produced for the first time by an American team, Dunsinane is a captivating, imagined sequel to Shakespeare's Macbeth that explores one man's attempt to restore peace in a country consumed by war. Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, the English army has swept in, killed the tyrant and claimed Scotland's seat of power. But efforts to restore order appear futile as the situation spins out of control. Fierce one minute and funny the next, Scottish playwright David Greig's extraordinary ability to infuse a dark story with rich humor results in a lively, vital examination of power--illuminating uncanny parallels between Scotland's medieval and present-day political landscapes around the world.

"I'm thrilled that the years of discussions about how CTE and MTC could partner to create unique theatrical experiences has finally borne fruit in this most important season for both companies. And not just one partnership, but two," said Minadakis. "To open the season with our Macbeth / Dunsinane partnership and to end the season with the first joint Marin New Play Festival is incredibly exciting and right at the heart of our mission. As we continue rebuilding our company and our community dialogue after two years of quiet stages, I am incredibly proud that we are showcasing two organizations working together to deepen the artistry and camaraderie of our community."
