OCC Repertory Theater Company presents “Madness, Murder, and Mayhem” at the Black Box Theater opening on Friday, Oct. 18. at 7:30 p.m.
The play invites audiences to confront the darkest aspects of human nature and the timeless allure of Shakespeare’s most twisted tales.
William Shakespeare is the most well-known playwright and poet; therefore, the stage becomes energetic, echoed by Macbeth’s maniacal ambitions. The haunting echoes of Hamlet’s spectral quest for vengeance, intertwined with the evil machinations of Iago in Othello, result in a captivating fusion of theatrical drama, palpable suspense, and eerie supernatural elements. This immersive experience immerses the audience in a realm where insanity looms at every turn, and the specter of murder permeates the air like a noxious vapor.
In the depths of darkness, moments of humanity shine through as characters confront their inner struggles and ethical quandaries. From the tormented spirits of Lady Macbeth and King Lear to the heartbreaking unraveling of Ophelia’s sanity, each portrayal delves into the profound complexities of the human mind.
Tickets cost $21 for adults and $19 for seniors.
