Macbeth is one of the bloodiest works attributed to William Shakespeare, second only to Titus Andronicus. However, the former is more refined and as psychologically disturbing as it is gory. <\/p>\n

The play, being presented this Thursday at Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, offers a study of unchecked ambition and its darkest consequences, including deceit, murder, misguided schemes, tyrannical behavior and the inevitable collapse of a royal house rotting from the inside out. <\/p>\n

Sounds like a suitable bedtime story for the new millennium. <\/p>\n

For this adaptation by the award-winning Out of Chaos theatre company, two actors will undertake the juggling act of playing more than 20 roles. <\/p>\n

$29-$79, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 226-5700, us.atgtickets.com. \u2014\u00a0Anjali Gupta<\/p>\n
