AUDITION NOTICE: Macbeth - Javeenbah Theatre Company

Title: Macbeth

Presented By: Javeenbah Theatre Company

Genre: Drama / Shakespearean Adaptation

Synopsis: Set against the glitz and grit of mid-1900s Las Vegas, this reimagined Macbeth follows a mob enforcer drawn into the city’s gambling underworld.
