Yale Repertory Theater: Macbeth in Stride by Whitney White

December 5 – December 14, 2024

Written and Performed by Whitney White
Directed by Taibi Magar and Tyler Dobrowsky
Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly

The Queen is centerstage. In a stacked setlist of original pop, rock, gospel, and R&B bangers, OBIE Award winner Whitney White subverts one of Shakespeare’s most iconic tales. The arc of Lady Macbeth is reimagined as the story of an ambitious Black woman, told through her own contemporary perspective of femininity, desire, and power with a capital P. Dazzlingly theatrical, Macbeth in Stride brings Lady M’s herstory into the 21st century with energy, humor, and swagger to spare.

Yale Rep’s 2024–25 WILL POWER! education program will include a 10AM performance of Macbeth in Stride on December 12 for high school students from New Haven Public Schools, entirely free of charge.
