Klingon M'aQ'betH
Red Curtain Foundation presents "M'aQ'betH," an unofficial Star Trek fan production adapted from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" by and directed by Alex De Roest. The show runs weekends, July 27-August 12 at the Red Curtain Arts Center.
An honorable Klingon captain named M'aQ'betH receives a prophecy from three witches of Feklhr that one day he will become Emperor of Qo'nos. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, M'aQ'betH betrays Emperor Kahless and takes the Klingon empire for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more dishonorable murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take the Alpha Quadrant into the realms of madness and death.
This show contains graphic violence. Not recommended for children under 12.
Shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m., for the three-weekend run July 27-August 12.

Q&A
| Question: |
It is said that one has not truly experienced Shakespeare unless one has read it in the original Klingon. My question is: after this play, will I have truly experienced the Bard (i.e., will I need subtitles, or will it be translated to English)? |
| Answer: |
The production is presented in Shakespearean English, with Klingon substitutions for places, names, and a few other objects. Mostly the dialogue is faithful to the text. |
