SALT LAKE CITY– Westminster is pleased to present the theatrical production of Macbeth at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 12, 13, 14 and 19, 20, 21, 2009, in the Jay W. Lees Courage Theatre in the Jewett Center for Performing Arts.

In this Shakespearean classic, Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, is hailed by three witches with titles which do not belong to him. Macbeth soon finds himself bestowed with one of the titles spoken by the witches and from this point forward, begins to harbor ambitions of becoming king. Macbeth and his wife plot and commit the murders of several important figures, but this does not bring them the happiness they sought. Macbeth and his wife are haunted by ghosts and guilt. A final showdown between Macbeth and Macduff leads to Macbeth’s ultimate demise, and a new king is placed on the throne, finally bringing rightful leadership to the country.

Westminster College’s production of Macbeth is directed by Barbara Smith, associate professor at Westminster College.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for non-Westminster students, and free for Westminster students and faculty. Discount tickets can be purchased online at through www.westminstercollege.edu/culturalevents. For more information, call (801) 832-2457 or visit www.westminstercollege.edu/campusevents.
