Opening No. 89: Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s “Macbeth”: Shakespeare’s tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne.

Starring Nigel Gore, who also starred in last summer’s “Richard III” in Boulder. Also starring Liza de Weerd as Lady M, and featuring Sam Gregory, Lawrence Hecht, Nathan Stith among an ensemble of 27. Next performance: 8 p.m. July 13 at the Mary Rippon outdoor Amphitheatre on the University of Colorado-Boulder campus; times then vary throughout the summer.
