About the Project

“Will these hands ne’er be clean?” Have you ever wondered what happens between Lady Macbeth’s final sleepwalking scene and her off-stage death? In this provocative one-woman show, she summons the spirits of Clytemnestra, Bathsheba, and Igraine–all of whom married their husband’s murderer (like Lady Macbeth’s historical counterpart, Gruoch). Blood Brides weaves history and mythology into a searing meditation on marriage and murder, magic and fate, legacy and survival.
