Shotgun Shakespeare: What the Weird Sisters Saw

Adapted from William Shakespeare's MacBeth by Evan Jackson and Tristan Brandon

"...a gutsy and intimate re-telling of the classic tale"
"Those...who can appreciate bold choices and in-your-lap storefront style acting will find "Weird Sisters" an intriguing experience."
- Joe Stead, Steadstyle Chicago.

Idle Muse Theatre Company presents the first in its ongoing series of classic works adapted for small performance spaces with a stunning re-envisioning of Shakespeare’s seminal tragedy, MacBeth. What the Weird Sisters Saw re-cuts and refocuses the original text to tell the story of three women we will eventually come to know as the “secret, black, and midnight hags.” Viewed through the lens of Weird Sisters’ confused visions, the classic tale of ambition and murder unfolds, taking a look at the events that might have led up to the fateful prophecy on the blasted heath if the story began in a different place. Drawn entirely from the Bard’s own words, What the Weird Sisters Saw is a sharp and magical examination of fate, will, and the desire to know.
