"A masterB- of suspense, the heir of Hitchcock, Jarzyna composes his performances like movies."
- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

TR Warszawa, Poland's most exciting theater company, arrives in New York with a spectacular production of Macbeth that boldly reinvents Shakespeare's classic for the twenty-first century.

With a huge cinematic sweep, the production takes multi-media theater to the limit. A dramatic two-story set, video walls, special effects, and a deep well of acting tradition transform Shakespeare's web of intimacy, politics and the supernatural into a contemporary living film.

For this production, St. Ann's Warehouse will create an outdoor theater in the Civil War-era Tobacco Warehouse, located in Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, across the street from St. Ann's Warehouse.

Jarzyna heightens his Macbeth with an extraordinary, layered soundscape of original music, pop songs, atmospheric and recorded sound effects. Because of ambient noise from the Brooklyn Bridge and the waterfront, the entire sound design will be mixed live each night with the spoken text of the actors onstage, and amplified through a network of individual headsets to be worn by each audience member.
