Told through shadow puppetry, actors in silhouette and live music, this innovation stage production cleverly reimagines Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.”

One of British author William Shakespeare´s (1564-1616) most famous plays, “The Tragedy of Macbeth” relates the tale of ambitious nobleman Macbeth, who uses murder and intrigue to seize the Scottish throne — but suffers tremendous guilt for his actions.

“The 4th Witch” depicts the story of a young girl, orphaned from war, who becomes apprenticed to the three witches feature in the original play. They agree to take the girl on as an apprentice, on the condition that she must never use her powers for revenge. But consumed by grief and rage, the girl comes to realize that it was Macbeth who killed her father — and that she must choose between reconciliation or vengeance.
