"Set in St Louis, during the Great Depression, the play deals with the conflict between an aging mother, her son, and her painfully shy daughter. While attempting to establish a romantic relationship for her daughter through an invitation to a gentleman caller, the mother sets in motion a dramatic chain of events that lead to a poignant and moving climax."

"One of Shakespeare's most popular plays, Macbeth is a chilling descent into the depths of a tormented murderer's soul - a brilliant documentation of the headlong pursuit of power, driven by lust and ambition. Following the promptings of his wife and the three weird sisters, Macbeth, war hero and newly appointed Thane of Cawdor, stakes his claim to the Scottish throne through the cowardly murder of his lawful king. The fearful aftermath of this heinous act is played out in a wild paroxysm of death and revenge that spirals inexorably to its bloody conclusion."
