World Premiere
Shakespeare’s ultimate power couple – retooled for the cyber age. MACK, BETH is a thoroughly modern, razor sharp tale with all the complex characters, intrigue, and taut storytelling that audiences expect from this classic tale of greed and unbridled ambition. A world premiere from a two-time Helen Hayes-nominated playwright.
MACK,BETH was developed through FIRST DRAFT at The Rose Theatre Co. where Stezin is playwright-in-residence. FIRST DRAFT is passionately rooted in the idea that new plays have an important place in the future of American theater. To learn more, go to www.rosetheatre.net
DC Metro Theater Arts Review
“Matt Ripa’s production of Mack, Beth is entertaining and filled with twists and turns. This new work does successfully make the point that the lust for power at the expense of everyone and everything else is just as relevant today as it was in Shakespeare’s time.”
MD Theatre Guide Review
“Keegan Theatre has shown once again its talent for bringing together meaningful works of storytelling and exceptional artistic talent. Directed by Matt Ripa, this play is a beautiful collaboration between two amazing staples of DC theatre: The Rose Theatre and The Keegan Theatre.”
