    Macbeth

    Take a trip into the 19th century with this new production of the Bard's blood-soaked tragedy from the Archive Theater. The haunting strains of Scottish-American melodies from live musicians, magic, dancing, brutal fighting, deadly passions, and the ghosts of memories breathe new life into this legendary drama. Can the Scottish play be more terrifying than when it's directed by Garrison Martt and performed at Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms? See for yourself, theatre-lover.
    Through Sept. 25. Thu.-Sun., 8pm. $15-35.
