Past Productions - 1995

Macbeth    by William Shakespeare  Adapted by Soheil Parsa and Peter Farbridge Produced at Buddies in Bad Times October 19 to November 5, 1995

"...one of the most inventively staged Shakespearean productions I have ever seen."
The Globe and Mail

In a simple performance style inspired by the Persian passion play Ta’ziyeh Khani, Modern Times production of Macbeth broke through conventional political and psychological interpretations of this classic work to expose its metaphysical roots. Nine actors in simple black costumes interpreted all the roles with scarves to delineate character. A round disk in the middle of the stage served for a set; some cloth, a bowl and two flashlights were the only props.
