Theatre professors to present Macbeth adaptation

April and Robert Hubbard, Northwestern College theatre professors and spouses, will present their new two-person adaptation of “Macbeth” at Northwestern’s DeWitt Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 10, at 7:30 p.m.

April, who played Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare’s classic tragedy as a graduate student at the University of South Dakota, adapted the script to a two-person show during the summer of 2015, again casting herself as Lady Macbeth and casting her husband in the title role. Robert directed a Northwestern College production of Shakespeare’s original last November.

In “MacDuo,” which is what April titled her version, the two Hubbards play the murderous husband and wife as well as their victims, the avenging Macduff and the three witches.

In July the Hubbards—representing the theatre company they founded, 3 Crazy Sons—were among 108 performing groups at the Kansas City Fringe Festival. They performed “MacDuo” four times in Kansas City’s Mesner Studio theatre over the course of the festival.

Tickets for “MacDuo” are free and seating in the DeWitt Theatre Arts Center’s England Theatre is first-come, first-served.
