Acorn Productions offers communities in Southern Maine a one-hour touring version of the classic play, directed by Acorn's Producing Director Michael Levine and featuring four company members creating all the roles as well as live sound effects. Despite its short length, the production includes all the most famous text passages, as well as nearly complete versions of the scenes between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. Although many scenes have been shortened in order to move the action along continuously, Acorn's version of the classic play still tells the entire story by compressing intervening scenes into a short narrative by another character in the play. The edited version of the text focuses on the essential journey of Macbeth's journey from war hero to tyrant and examines the causes of his downward spiral. The production has audience participation built into the performance, and can be preceded by a text workshop of up to 2 hours. Acorn's touring production is designed to be presented in a standard school auditorium, though it is extremely flexible and can fit into most any classroom, gymnasium, library or other non-traditional space.
