Macbeth
Macbeth
Three of Cups Theatre Company
Drama, Literary Adaptation
Runs Jul 24 - Aug 02, 2025
Three of Cups Theatre Company presents Macbeth, the age-old story of tyranny, fate, and the destructive nature of unchecked power. Inspired by the world of Samuel Beckett, this production will explore the intersection of fate, destiny, and our own concept of will-power. Do we have any control over our destiny or are our webs woven from the beginning? Macbeth examines the timeless and timely theme of the moral degradation of man, especially when one stops at nothing to achieve their ambitions.
The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host Macbeth on July 24 - August 2, 2025 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.
Tickets are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830.
