"Macbeth," "Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest," Island Shakespeare Festival, Whidbey Island

MACBETH by William Shakespeare

What drives a man to murder for a crown? In this daring new Macbeth, acclaimed physical theatre artists James Donlon and Alina Ceñal bring explosive movement and humanity to the bard’s infamous power-couple. Under 3-time ISF alum Jackie Apodaca’s fresh directorial vision, our story asks: what if Macbeth isn’t ruthless, but overlooked—an aging soldier grasping for one last chance to make a difference in a world ruled by nepotism and folly? Through raw physical storytelling, this Macbeth pulses with urgency, tenderness, and the tragic cost of wanting to make an impact before it’s too late.

ROBIN HOOD of Sherwood Forest  by Erin Murray | world premiere

In a world hungry for heroes, one outlaw dares to lead with love. Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest—a brand-new play by Erin Murray—reimagines the classic legend for our times, blending humor, heart, and high adventure. Led by 2-time ISF alum Davion Tynarious Brown as Robin, our diverse band of Merry Folk match wits and arrows with the best of them. This story celebrates community, courage, and generosity in the face of greed. With live music, laughter, and swordplay under the summer sky, Robin Hood reminds us that leaders are not born, but created out of a concern for others.
