 Something Wicked This Way Comes…Macbeth Opens in Three Weeks! 

Richmond Shakespeare presents William Shakespeare’s gripping tragedy Macbeth, running March 26 – April 18, 2026 at Dominion Energy Center’s Gottwald Playhouse (600 E. Grace St., Richmond, VA).

One of Shakespeare’s most thrilling and psychologically intense works, Macbeth plunges audiences into a dark world of prophecy, ambition, and moral collapse. When a mysterious trio of witches foretells Macbeth’s rise to power, he and his wife embark on a bloody path toward the throne—no matter the cost.

Directed by Artistic Director James Ricks, this haunting production explores the dangerous power of imagination and the stories we tell ourselves.

“Macbeth isn’t a play about ambition — it’s a play about imagination. And the tragedy begins the moment Macbeth starts believing the story in his own head. We’re excited to bring one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays to life in all its psychological and supernatural glory.”

Presented in the intimate Gottwald Playhouse, this production will immerse audiences in Scotland’s eerie, haunted landscape—where prophecy and paranoia blur the line between fate and free will.

 Something wicked is coming.
