What if the worst thing you ever did was the thing you did for the person you love most? Sweet Tea Shakespeare brings Macbeth to the 1897 Poe House at the Museum of the Cape Fear for an outdoor, in-the-round production directed by Michael Curtis Houck, running October 1–4 and 8–11, 2026. Dark, moody, elemental, and occasionally absurdly funny, this is a Macbeth about two people who love each other desperately, make one terrible choice, and then improvise their way through the fallout. Featuring our signature preshow, this immersive experience puts you right inside the unraveling as ambition becomes consequence and comedy gives way to tragedy.
