TOMS RIVER, NJ — Take a dramatic turn into darkness this month as the Ocean County College Repertory Theatre Co. presents “Madness, Murder and Mayhem” in the Black Box Theater at the Grunin Center for the Arts, October 18-27.
In this gripping production of moments from William Shakespeare’s greatest works, the stage comes alive with the echoes of Macbeth’s maniacal ambitions, the chilling whispers of Hamlet’s ghostly revenge, and the venomous schemes of Iago from Othello. Through a seamless blend of drama, suspense, and the supernatural, audiences are transported to a world where madness lurks around every corner, and murder hangs like a foul stench. But amidst the darkness, flashes of humanity emerge as characters grapple with their inner demons and moral dilemmas. From the tortured souls of Lady Macbeth and King Lear to the tragic descent of Ophelia into madness, each performance is a haunting exploration of the human psyche. “Madness, Murder and Mayhem” invites audiences to confront the darkest aspects of human nature and the timeless allure of Shakespeare’s most twisted tales.
Tickets are $21/adults, $19/seniors and can be purchased online at grunincenter.org, by phone at 732-255-0500, or in person at the Grunin Center Box Office.
