Maybe you read Macbeth in high school or college and studied the story of a commander named Macbeth who-with the help of his wife- killed family, friends, women and children to ascend to the throne of Scotland. You may think you know what will happen in our film version Tango Macbeth. Think again.
Synopsis: A theater company rehearses Macbeth at an old theater in Philadelphia. A documentary film crew follows them during the rehearsal process. Occasionally the actors become lost in Shakespeare’s world. This blend of intense drama, dance and humor is a refreshing take on Shakespeare’s classic text.
Quote from noted author Lorene Cary about the project: “Tango promises to bring out the extraordinary power of Lady Macbeth’s role, which will help viewers explore questions of shared responsibility for and profits from evil. This film will make a great contribution to the canon. It will also add an extraordinary opportunity for teachers and learners to find new paths into the Shakespearean classic.”
