On Tuesday, Seattle Shakespeare Company shared changes to their previously announced 2022-2023 season, swapping out the first two shows. While making changes to a season after it has been announced is reasonably common in the theatre world, Seattle Shakespeare has had to do so less than a handful of times in the past two decades. "It is always our hope and goal never to need to make such a large programming change," Seattle Shakespeare's Artistic Director George Mount said, "but in this new world, we are recognizing that we need to be a bit more flexible than before the pandemic started."

The 2022-2023 season now launches with William Shakespeare's Macbeth directed by ACT's Artistic Director John Langs. The show will star Reginald André Jackson (who was slated to direct the previously-scheduled Othello) and Alexandra Tavares. After three mysterious witches prophecy a loyal military general will become King of Scotland, he sets down a path of destruction and devastation from which there is no return. Macbeth examines how devotion and pride can quickly turn into vanity and murder. Macbeth will run October 25-November 20, 2022.
