[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Don’t miss the world premiere of the real LADY MACBETH – Lifting the Curse, written by Coco Blignaut and Edison Park and directed by Sofia Streisand at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
About the real LADY MACBETH
Shakespeare’s play – MACBETH – turned Lady Macbeth into a murderess, a conniving, greedy woman with a masculine lust for power.
the real LADY MACBETH – lifting the curse – is a play that will lift the curse on the REAL Lady Macbeth, an 11th century Scottish queen, who was nothing like Shakespeare’s evil queen with a masculine lust for power. The true historical queen’s name and her memory have been slandered on stages all over the world for the past 500 years. It is time to set her free!
the real LADY MACBETH lived in a Druid world filled with warrior blood and terrible vengeance, but also a world filled with magic and medicine women, under the ongoing spell of nature. Life was brutal, and it was precious.
The women of that time, even queens, were invisible. Their stories were unheard. Today, we live in a time when all of the unseen and unheard ones are coming to the fore to tell their stories, yet, as war and bloodshed still continue. What has changed?
Using a “Burning Man” aesthetic with modern bohemian costume and effects, and avant-garde props, director Sofia Streisand seamlessly blends worlds and brings a timely message of, dare we say, hope?
Award-winning singer and composer Kristin Amarie and co-composer and producer Alex Salzman’s haunting and ethereal music features.
