The Rustic Mechanicals’ 2025 Vaulting Ambition Tour of William Shakespeare’s

MACBETH!

Murder! Prophecy! Witches! …and, surprisingly, Love!

The power of a prophecy tempts the ambitious General Macbeth and his passionately persuasive wife to accelerate their road to royalty.

Something wicked this way comes when the real-life husband and wife founders of the Rustic Mechanicals play the original power couple whose vaulting ambition unravels their love and their lives.

ABOUT THE TROUPE
Founded in the summer of 2014, The Rustic Mechanicals is the only troupe of actors in the state dedicated to touring the works of William Shakespeare and other classical playwrights.

The Mechanicals now tour five shows annually, including their summer West Virginia Shakespeare in the Park(s) outdoor tour and script-in-hand productions that we call, “a Play, a Pie, and a Pint,” focusing on making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to modern audiences by utilizing dynamic and extreme casting techniques paired with Shakespeare’s staging conditions.\
