Macbeth
Fri & Sat: 8:15 pm, Sun: 2 pm
Harlequins Theatre, 414 Wayne St., Rear, Sandusky
When you delve into performing live theatre, as the ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society will attest, things can go wrong. The show must go on as everyone knows...and it does...whether or not it should is another question. However, the ladies have spent nine months rehearsing and hope to take their production of Macbeth to the national final. Luckily (or not), a well-respected adjudicator is present who will judge their performance worthy. Sets facing the wrong way, actresses who don't show up, props, costumes...if it can go awry...well, hilarity and mayhem ensue.
