Macbeth
Long Beach City College proudly presents Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, adapted and directed by Anthony Carreiro. First performed in 1606, Macbeth delves into the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. Considered to be one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, the performance will be running throughout the month of March.
