Director Gemma Bodinetz provides a different, post-apocalyptic take on the famous story by William Shakespeare.

What made watching this show online so intriguing to me was how they displayed it as a movie. I thought this was really cool and attention-grabbing because it's different from other plays being shown online. Usually you can see the entire stage and maybe even shots of the audience. This play was shown as a movie and I thought it enhanced the show because of it.
This take on Macbeth has the same story that William Shakespeare wrote but with different elements. Macbeth is about a general named Macbeth who receives a prophecy from three witches that he will soon become a king. Macbeth is influenced by this prophecy and kills King Duncan so he could take the throne for himself. He is then consumed by his own guilt and paranoia. Gemma Bodinetz's take is wonderful and great to watch.
