Witches, ghosts, spells, bloody gore, murder. . . all forbidden subjects in my 1990's Christian upbringing, yet somehow Macbeth got a pass because it's Shakespeare. I'm glad it did because "the Bard" had a lot of God-given insight into the human condition and into the topics of pride, ambition, guilt, losing loved ones, grief, malice, hatred, self worth, meaninglessness, and the inevitability of death.  All of these are hauntingly portrayed in Macbeth and still resonate today. 

Join us as we huddle around a fire enjoying soup, chili and hot drinks while exploring the darker side of the Christian imagination through reading/performance and discussion of this play.  

No rehearsals or memorization required.  This is a reading performance.  No talent or experience necessary.  Just give it your all!

We will have a short discussion time after each Act to explain the nuances of what is going on and set the scenes to come.  If you have had trouble getting lost with Shakespeare before this is a great way to enjoy and understand the play. 

*Age 16 and up for reading. Kids age 8 and up are welcome to come play with our daughters in our basement during the read.  Let us know if you are thinking about bringing your kids so we can plan and keep it to a manageable number.  

**Please bring warm outdoor clothes as at least the first half will be outside around a firepit. Hat, coat, gloves, blanket etc.  Also please bring an outdoor chair if you have one.
