La MaMa in association with Mini Teater Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Novo Kazaliste Zagreb (Croatia) presents “Macbeth After Shakespeare”.

Based on the text of postmodern German playwright Heiner Muller
Directed by Ivica Buljan
In Slovenian with English subtitles

Since its world premiere in Ljubljana nearly three years ago, the Mini Teater Ljubljana (Slovenia) / Novo Kazaliste Zagreb (Croatia) co-production of Heiner Müller’s controversial Macbeth after Shakespeare has garnered critical praise and awards all over the world, including such far-flung locales as Seoul and Havana. The work, directed by Mini Teater co-founder Ivica Buljan—director of Zagreb Youth Theatre’s equally physical The Garage, at La MaMa last year—will make its North American premiere at La MaMa.
