Flamenco Macbeth is an adaptation from Shakespeare by Santa Monica College (SMC) Theatre Arts department chair Perviz Sawoski. The production features the dramatic tapping of flamenco rhythms, the sensational opulence of Dolce & Gabbanaesque neo-rococo costumes, and the intimacy of a 100 seat thrust stage.
Sawoski’s staging has actors dancing in the vomitoriums, giving the audience a surround experience of Shakespeare’s tragic tale.
