In the play, “Hamlet meets the Scottish play in this hilarious parody where three witches must protect the fallen king's son so he can take the land back from the evil duke and duchess in this two-act show that's full of foolishness and mayhem with a colorful cast ranging from witches, royalties, fools and a playwriting dwarf,” Ember Theatre said.
Ember Theatre is the student theatre club on the NMSU campus. It is open to all NMSU students regardless of major or theatre experience.
The show is directed by Darcy Harman and stage managed by Luis Castro.
