EVREN ODCIKIN
Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland, OR (2024)
In this powerful exploration of fate, an unexpected prophecy sends Scottish general Macbeth on a feverish and murderous quest to become king. With startlingly beautiful language, Shakespeare’s revered tragedy reveals the underbelly of ambition in a world steeped in power mongering, war, and magic. This muscular, modern production is an ensemble-based showcase for OSF’s acting company and plays all season in the Angus Bowmer Theatre.
"A riveting production shrewdly directed by Evren Odcikin gives festival fans a reason to rejoice." —KLCC
"This is not a good Macbeth, it is a spectacular Macbeth. The costumes, movement, and rhythmic chanting were indeed magic, and intense humanness kept enriching scenes throughout the performance.”
—Dangerous Common Sense
"Intense and cohesive, the play frequently makes use of song and dance to create the chilly, gothic castle air that Macbeth lives and breathes.
—The Siskiyou
