SF Shakespeare on Tour

Friday, February 10th, from 2:00pm
To be held at 50 First Street, Suite 300, San Francisco

ShakespeareThey are coming again, that wonderful San Francisco Shakespeare acting company; this time to show us the story of the nasty king-killer, Macbeth. Well, actually his wife was nastier; she egged him on, “will these hands ne’er be clean?” Macbeth is Shakespeare’s shortest play, made even shorter by SF Shakespeare’s clever one-hour performance.

They somehow manage to fit in the whole story, costumed witches, murders, and all. So come and be entertained – and bring friends and family!

This presentation is FREE and open to the public.
