FCHS Proudly Presents "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare

Instead of sitting at home passing out candy this Halloween, Forsyth Central High School invites one and all to a "wicked" night of theater with its production of Macbeth, which promises spooky entertainment at its best.  In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, theater-goers are encouraged to “dress up” for the October 31st performance, in which prizes will be awarded for the most creative costumes, and then to sit back and experience what has been called William Shakespeare’s darkest and greatest tragedy.

Macbeth runs Thursday October 24th and Thursday, October 31 at 7 p.m., and Friday October 25th at 6:30 p.m. Advanced tickets are now on sale for $10/$5 for students and can be purchased online at http://www.forsythcentralstage.com/now-showing.htm or at the door the night of each performance.  Performances are at the Central High School Performing Arts Center, 520 Tribble Gap Road, Cumming, GA  30040.

The show, widely known in theater circles as “The Scottish Play” due to superstitions surrounding the vocalization of the word Macbeth is set in 10th Century Scotland and tells the tale of a good man who slowly yields himself to the tempting voice of his murderous wife, his own ambition, and three supernatural witches. Through each bloody deed he becomes a butcher, leaving his wife and his kingdom in his wake of destruction.
