It is being set in a ‘liminal space’ with very eerie lighting,” Luke Fahey, President of Bravo Bearcats, said. “One cool thing we are doing is that as each character becomes more insane, their costume changes to represent that.”The play is being put on entirely by students, with student actors, directors, and production crew. Olivia Radecki, an English Literature and Cultural Studies major, said that she joined the production because she loves Shakespear. She played “Hamlet” in high school and was thrilled by the opportunity to be a part of “Macbeth.” Radecki’s excited for students to see what their peers are up to on campus. “I would say it’s exciting and inspiring to see what your peers and classmates are working on, and the art people are making at UC!” she said. “These students have been working extremely hard to create an awesome show full of gore, plot twists, and insanity,” Fahey added.The play will be performed on Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. and November 16 at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Mantei Center in room 427.
