"A little water clears us of this deed"... or does it?
macbitches by Sophie McIntosh: a darkly comedic play presented by Scottsdale Community Players, running July 25th–27th.
About the Show:
When freshman acting major Hailey unexpectedly scores the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, her upperclassmen rivals immediately invite her over to “celebrate.” As the Fireball and Svedka flow, the young women interrogate their own ambitions as well as the power structures that have shaped their education—and when the night spirals into violent and shocking acts of betrayal, they come to learn that “what’s done cannot be undone”.
Recommended for ages 14 and up.
“A tight 85-minute exercise in youthful ambition and the corrupting clashing of egos… With a fantastic understanding of tone and genre, MACBITCHES juggles headier themes while remaining a lively college drama.”
—The New York Times
“Bloody brilliant… McIntosh takes Shakespearean themes and grounds them in a new reality. Envy, ambition, treachery, and corruption look different among college girls than among soldiers and kings: while the latter may have farther reaching consequences, the first hits harder for a modern audience.”
