Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley is staging Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” in a style that is “a homage to the greatest SciFi films and TV shows,” says theater teacher and director John Sugden.
Light-swords, aliens, futuristic robots and starships are designed to make the play accessible to new audience members, but Shakespeare’s language will be there in its entirety, and the focus will be on the characters and “driving heart of the play,” Mr. Sugden says.
Performances will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 21-23, and 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at the school’s Rothrock Performance Hall, 302 Portola Road in Portola Valley.
Tickets are $5 for students and $15 for adults and can be bought at the door or online.
