The Tragedy of Maxwell: An Adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781257015726)

The Tragedy of Maxwell Power always comes at a cost. In a post-apocalyptic Bay Area where only children have survived, Maxwell, a haunted teen, receives a prophecy that sets him on a deadly path. As ambition begins to unravel loyalty, love, and sanity, Maxwell must face the devastating consequences of claiming power-no matter the cost. This bold adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth was written by young playwrights through Bay Area Movie Makers, who reimagined the Bard's timeless tragedy in their own voices. Developed with inspiration from California Shakespeare Theater's New Classics Commission Project, and featuring an original score composed by Crystal Matty, The Tragedy of Maxwell is a dark, poetic exploration of mental health, manipulation, and the fight to stay human when the world falls apart. Dark. Poetic. Unnervingly relevant. Shakespeare's darkest tale, reimagined for a new generation.
