CONTENT
The play is suitable for all audiences to the same extent as the source material. As in Shakespeare's original, there is some (pretend) violence, and a little (pretend) blood.
The play's dialogue is a mix of Shakespearean and modern English, similar to Complete Works [Abridged] or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
MONEY
The Comedy of Macbeth needs to raise $13,666.13 to cover the cost of rehearsal space, sets, props, costumes, and stipends for the cast and crew.
We want to keep our tickets affordable for everyone, but the base price of $20 per ticket won't cover all of our expenses. If you can afford more, we hope you'll consider paying at a higher price tier. Become a patron of the arts, support new plays in Seattle, and help keep the live theatre experience accessible for people at all income levels.
