Macbeth

Shakespeare's timeless tragedy of ambition and paranoia gets a razor-sharp contemporary overhaul at Crow's Theatre. In this arresting solo adaptation, powerhouse performer Evan Buliung steps into the shoes of Macbeth, transporting the classic Scottish play from ancient battlefields straight into the high-stakes, ruthless boardrooms of the modern tech industry.

Staged in the intimate Studio Theatre at Carlaw and Dundas in Leslieville, this production strips the tragedy down to its bare psychological essentials. Without a full cast to share the burden, Buliung embodies the haunting descent of a man corrupted by his own relentless drive for disruption and dominance. It's a bold, minimalist take that promises to resonate deeply in a city defined by hustle culture and corporate ambition.

Crow's Theatre continues to be an anchor for adventurous contemporary performance in the east end. Pair your evening with a pre-show craft beer or dinner at one of the bustling eateries along Queen Street East before making your way to the Guloien Theatre complex. Secure your tickets early as solo tours of this caliber in an intimate studio setting tend to sell out fast.
