San Francisco locals: I saw @weplayers.bsky.social’s production of Macbeth (staged inside the scary, freezing Fort Point) a decade ago and have never stopped thinking about it. Go see it. You will not regret it. www.weplayers.org/macbeth-at-f...

"Fire, burn; and cauldron, bubble."
We're casting our best spells and cooking up a Macbeth to sink your teeth into! Spectacle and catharsis combine in this relevant reflection on fate and fortune.
