“Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.”
A little later than now, in the ruins of a theatre, three witches make a prophecy.
A warrior and his wife enter the darkness. A war begins.
Yaël Farber directs Olivier Award-nominee James McArdle (Angels in America) and four-time Academy Award-nominated Saoirse Ronan (Little Women), in an elemental production about a world in transformation, the shadows in all of us, and one couple’s spine-chilling quest for power.
