Continuing our Halloween production tradition, Kentucky Shakespeare presents a new immersive experience inside our headquarters in Old Louisville. Utilizing headphone technology, audience members will move throughout an interactive production inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Kentucky Shakespeare commissioned playwrights Diana Grisanti and Steve Moulds to create this hour-long sensory event, conceived by the pair with director Matt Wallace.

AUDIENCE INFO: Running time is approximately one hour with no intermission. During some of this experience audience members will wear headphones. This production includes short stretches of walking and standing, with periodic sitting stations. If you need further information, please email info@kyshakespeare.com.
