TR Warszawa, Poland’s most exciting theater company, arrives in New York with a spectacular production of Macbeth that boldly reinvents the classic for the twenty-first century. With a huge cinematic sweep, the production takes multi-media theater to the limit, directed by the gifted Grzegorz Jarzyna. A dramatic two-story set, video walls, special effects, an extraordinary, layered soundscape, and a deep well of acting tradition transform Shakespeare’s web of intimacy, politics and the supernatural into a contemporary living film.
St. Ann’s Warehouse will create an outdoor theater in the Civil War-era Tobacco Warehouse, located in Empire-Fulton FerryState Park, across the street from St. Ann’s Warehouse. This historic site’s romantic, open air and column-free structure is well-suited to St. Ann’s visionary programming, at the gateway to the Brooklyn Waterfront.
Macbeth was performed in Polish with English supertitles.
Presented with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the Trust for Mutual Understanding, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland, and the City ofWarsaw. Additional support provided by The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation. Special Thanks to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
