Cast and Crew
Macbeth - Darcy Knopp
This show is a rarity. You could audition a lifetime and never have the stars align so generously as they have for Darcy J Knopp with this production. It's classic character, a renowned play, a brilliant and mesmerizing cast, an exciting and vivid design, and, of course, a daring plunge into the inner darkness of the soul to a place we all know exists but are too terrified to speak of. Darcy, on behalf of the cast and crew, would like to welcome you all to this fantastic nightmare. He hopes that you will enjoy this horrific tale of ambition, the supernatural, and a corrupted prophecy that spurs the disastrous unwinding of a man's humanity. Darcy is grateful to take a break from his comfortable director's chair (last year's: Rotten in the State of Denmark) and return to the stage for this project. He swears his next task is to return to the laptop to pen (key?) his next play coming to a theatre near you. He also wishes to salute his intrepid "Wiferoo" who allows him to play on stage and ignore adulting on a regular basis. Buckle up!
