How do you know when it's the real thing or a tragic romance?

For the first time on the Lantern mainstage, Macbeth will bring you into the propulsive action, dazzle you with some of Shakespeare's most indelible language, and leave you asking what you might give of yourself to achieve your heart's desire.
