Why is Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Park's MacBeth Unique?

In this live interview, Anna Singer talks with members of Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Park's Macbeth, which runs outdoors over six weekends until October 12th.

 

Music Director Matt Calvetti talks about the unique live sound design that is prevalent throughout the show. He uses unconventional instruments, demonstrated live, to create tension and atmosphere in this chilling play. Actor Aaron Crutchfield plays Macbeth, and reflects on the emotional depth of the role. He finds his famous monologues are made even more poignant by the outdoors.  

 

Founder and Artistic Director, Jennifer Tober, shares her interpretation of Lady Macbeth, who she plays in the show. All three talk about the costume design which includes eeire masks, the small cast, and the overall tone of the show.

 

According to Anna, it's a show not to miss!
