​
This version of Macbeth treats the play as essentially a domestic drama situated in a densely conflicted political environment, with a tighter focus on the actions of and relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. As in Greek tragedy, it matters that the characters are kings and queens, but it matters more that they are spouses, parents (or not), and sons. ​Practical foley effects, music, and evocative design promise to make this a singularly unique retelling of this story. ​This version is a one-act Macbeth. It should run no more than 90 minutes.

Hear ye, hear ye!
Without further ado and with unmeasured excitement, WKP is pleased to announce our 2026 summer repertory season:
​
Much Ado About Nothing
directed by Jack D. Ellis
with assistant director Phillip Beattie
and
Measure for Measure
directed by Sandra Boynton
with assistant director Cameryn Coetzee
​
Beginning performances in June and running through August:
The war is over, but the wooing certainly isn’t. When Don Pedro’s soldiers return from war, they also return to their old lives and find that the saying is true: love is a battlefield.
​
While young Claudio’s eyes finally notice Hero, Beatrice and Benedick find their ancient “merry war” still wages on. While Beatrice and Benedick’s friends conspire to get them together, Don Pedro’s bastard-of-a-brother, Don John, conspires to break Hero and Claudio apart… will love finally win, or are we all just making Much Ado About Nothing?
Beginning performances in July and running through September:
Disguises! Mistaken Identities! Pranks and tricks! True love! And magical marriages!
​
Measure for Measure exploits all the themes and devices of sweet comedy to view the usually serious world of oppressive law, untreatable disease, foolish law enforcement, coerced sex, slander and execution. Actors and audiences alike will confront ideas and situations still relevant in the 21st century—in an ultimately hope-infused 17th century incarnation. If you’re an actor looking for a unique adventure, audition; if you’re an observer, join us for a roller-coaster performance of Measure for Measure this summer 2026.
