Macbeth at The Guthrie

If you are not coming, please have the courtesy to change your RSVP.

I will be in the 4th floor Target Lounge by 6:30 for "meet and greet" near the bar. We will take our seats by 7:10. Show starts at 7:30. If you can't find us, send a message in comments below. I look like my photo.

Easy parking on the street or in the lot across from the theater.

If you haven't been to the Guthrie before, be sure to come early to go to the "endless bridge" for a lovely view of the Mississippi.

I am in Seat M 201. As of this post (January 9) there are seats available near me. Get your ticket here. The box office is very helpful on the phone as well.

When three witches utter a surprising incantation — “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter” — a soldier and nobleman’s course is forever altered. Macbeth and his ambitious wife seek to kill King Duncan and usurp the throne. The pair is successful, but their satisfaction is fleeting, and the two embark on a perilous path of destruction. Macbeth is soon haunted by the bloodstained ghost of a former enemy, and the crown grows heavy with the weight of his insecurity and paranoia. Shakespeare’s thrilling story of treachery and ambition explores the relationship between power and corruption, revealing the villainy that can emerge when power is sought.

Three things to know

• Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s shortest and quickest tragedies, consisting of just over 2,000 lines.
• The Guthrie has produced (or co-produced) Macbeth in five past seasons, most recently in our 2014–2015 Season with The Acting Company.
• The play is often referred to as “The Scottish Play” because of the superstitious legend that saying the word “Macbeth” in a theater invokes a curse. (To lift the curse, one must leave the room, spin three times, spit, curse, and knock to be let back in)😁
