The title of Marin Theatre Company’s current production, Dunsinane, refers to Shakespeare’s Battle of Dunsinane where Macbeth was defeated. The play by David Greig explores what happened in the year following the battle beginning with Spring and ending with Winter.

The show features actors from Tamalpais High School’s Conservatory Theatre Ensemble (CTE). Aldo Billingslea steals the show with his superb acting as Siward. Josh Odess-Rubin is an intriguing Malcolm and Lisa Anne Porter shines as the Queen. Brendan Barger, Daniel Duque-Estrada, Jack Hochschild, Kira Keane, Molly Lyons and Michael Ray Wisely round out the fine cast.

Jasson Minadakis and Rob Lutfy deserve a big round of applause for their superb direction. The lighting is especially interesting (Mike Post) and the costumes (Brooke Jennings) authentic. The fight scenes (Josh Odess-Rubin, Coach) are precise and emotional.

Dunsinane continues through October 16 at Marin Theatre Company. Coming up next at Marin Theatre will be August Wilson’s Two Trains Running, Novemer 25-December 18.
