Macbeth
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Laura T. Garza

This is not your traditional Macbeth. This production reimagines Shakespeare’s tragedy through the lens of a Narcos-inspired world, where the pursuit of power is fueled by violence, ambition, and corruption. Set against a gritty backdrop of cartel politics and empire-building, this bold retelling asks: What is the true cost of power?

This concept connects Shakespeare’s timeless themes of greed and fate with a contemporary world that audiences will instantly recognize, making it both relevant and impactful.
