Fredericksburg Free Press covers Macbeth

Banner reading “Macbeth” in gold lettering with a small crown over the first letter, a crow flying above it and an engraved city skyline and bridge behind. Below: “Shakespeare on the Lawn at Historic Kenmore. Saturdays & Sundays: June 6, 7, 13 & 14”, with the Fredericksburg Theatre Ensemble logo and The George Washington Foundation logo at the left, and “sponsored by LEWIS INSURANCE ASSOCIATES” at the right.

Rick Horner of the Fredericksburg Free Press takes a look at our Macbeth, FTE’s first, and director Heather McIntosh’s 1950s New York reimagining, where the crime families of postwar Manhattan stand in for Shakespeare’s warring Scottish houses and the Weird Sisters feel right at home among the era’s séances and fortune tellers. 🎭

“This is an experience you don’t get in a theater.”

Damian Leone, actor playing Macbeth
