2022 Summer Season
William Shakespeare’s tragic Scottish Play is brought to life in an outdoor touring performance by Shake on the Lake.
Shake on the Lake (SOTL) has produced live, outdoor, professional
performances of William Shakespeare’s plays since 2012, and this summer
SOTL returns to live touring for the first time since 2019, with our own
unique outdoor staging of the tragic Scottish play, MXBETH.
“By the pricking of the thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”
Once upon a dreary heath in Scotland, three “weird sisters” conjure a
prophecy that predicts Macbeth will ascend to the throne of Scotland.
How far will the war-torn general go to see the prophecy come true? A
bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth
into the realms of paranoia, madness, and to the mouth of death.
Join us at historic and lovely outdoor venues throughout Western New York and
bring a lawn chair, and immerse yourself into the world of William
Shakespeare in SOTL’s fast, fun, and physical style of performance,
featuring live music and a professional cast of artists.
Designed & staged for Shakespeare newbies and Bard aficionados alike!
Appropriate for all audiences.
Approx. Running Time: 90 minutes with no intermission.
We request you to RSVP to the show in order to estimate crowd size.
Shows marked with an * have pay-what-you-can tickets.
