The 4th Witch is Pure Magic…a theater experience unlike anything else. Fly, don’t walk, to see this show.”

— City Paper

“Enthralling…Balancing mystery and memory, The 4th Witch makes a stunning case for imagination as a tool of resistance and escape.”

— Post and Courier

Told through breathtaking shadow puppetry, actors in silhouette, and evocative live music, Manual Cinema’s latest theatrical experience is a “visually sumptuous” (City Paper) inversion of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Orphaned by war, a young girl is rescued by three witches, who agree to take her on as an apprentice on the condition that she must never use her powers for revenge. Consumed by grief and rage, the girl comes to realize that it was the warlord Macbeth who killed her parents — and that she must choose between reconciliation or vengeance.

Perfect for families and theater buffs alike, this highly-anticipated new production showcases Manual Cinema’s deeply resonant visual storytelling and ingenious mix of old and new technologies. You won’t want to miss the acclaimed company’s first return to OZ Arts since their sold-out hit Frankenstein.

Suitable for ages 12+. This production explores themes of grief, war, and generational conflict. It includes loud sounds and flashing lights.
