Shakespeare in the Dark: Macbeth
The Filigree Theatre presents the blood-drenched Scottish play as an immersive horror show performed entirely in the dark in the Driskill Hotel. If this works well, it'll be mostly due to the power of Shakespeare's words – as abetted, of course, by the company. If this works well, it'll be an intensely creepy and enjoyable experience. We're figuring yes.Oct. 31-Nov. 4. Wed.-Fri., 8pm; Sat.-Sun., 2 & 8pm. $15-20. -

The Hunchback Variations and An Apology by Doctor John Faustus
One of our favorite playwrights, because his works are so smart and odd and literary and (often) hilarious, is Mickle Maher. He wrote Capital T’s award-winning hits Song About Himself, The Strangerer, There Is a Happiness That Morning Is, and Spirits to Enforce. Now here's Mark Pickell directing Ken Webster and Robert Fisher in two of the man's shorter plays – we get to see both performances in one fine show, yes – and we're so fucking stoked about this. Especially because we want to know what happens, what the brilliant Maher thinks would happen, when "noted composer Beethoven and noted hunchback Quasimodo embark on creating an impossible sound."Through Nov. 17. Thu.-Sat., 8pm. $20-30. -
