Something wicked this way comes! The Rustic Mechanicals are proud to present Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Macbeth to Fairmont State University as part of their 2025 Vaulting Ambition Tour!
Murder! Prophecy! Witches! …and, surprisingly, Love! The power of a prophecy tempts the ambitious General Macbeth and his passionately persuasive wife to accelerate their road to royalty. Something wicked this way comes when the real-life husband and wife founders of the Rustic Mechanicals play the original power couple whose vaulting ambition unravels their love and their lives.
This performance of Macbeth will be held in the Wallman Hall theater on the campus of Fairmont State University on Monday, April 7th. The doors open at 6:30pm for a music pre-show, and the performance begins at 7:00PM. Admission is free!

The Mechanicals will be touring Macbeth throughout the spring and fall months for schools and educational purposes, and the historical epic Henry V in the summer of 2025. The Mechanicals focus on making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to modern audiences by utilizing dynamic and extreme casting techniques paired with Shakespeare’s staging conditions.
