Here comes something wickedly enjoyable!

Fans of chilling thrillers, psychological twists, and blood-curdling horror will have to look no farther than Malverne this July.

The Malverne Community Theatre is producing three shows of “Macbeth” at Crossroads Farm at Grossmann’s July 7-9.

Anyone familiar with Malverne Community Theatre’s President David Coonan won’t be surprised that he opted to emphasize the psychological aspects of “Macbeth”. Coonan is renowned locally for performances that highlight mind games and the macabre.

“‘Macbeth’ has always been on my mind for years to stage a production,” Coonan said. “Thankfully, the people I wanted in particular roles were available. I have my ‘Macbeth’ dream cast.”

The play adaption will run July 7, 8, and 9 with performances at 8 p.m. The evenings are much more than a night of theater, however. This is the second year Malverne Community Theatre is partnering with Crossroads Farm. Each of the three nights in July will feature farm-to-table food with dinner, dessert, and beverages. Local breweries and musicians will be on hand starting at 7 p.m. After each performance, the cast will talk to audience members about the show.

“These will be nice evenings to support our local farm, community theatre, and chamber of commerce,” Coonan said. “Crossroads Farm is a great partner to work with. We hope it’s a fun evening and that we capture the spirit of the play and reinforce people’s love of Shakespeare, and maybe convert some folks.”

Coonan, who wrote the adapted script, said fans of Shakespeare and “Macbeth” in particular won’t be disappointed with the truncated version. Coonan said his adaptation trims the play from almost three hours to just over an hour.

And all the famous — and infamous — lines remained.

“All the important scenes are there; all the major plot points; all the characters; and all the brilliant speeches,” Coonan said. “It’s faithful to the play. I wanted the emotion and energy and darkness to remain.”

Stephanie Jablonski, who plays Lady Macduff, agreed with Coonan that the annotated version is faithful and beautiful — and horrifying.

“This adaptation of ‘Macbeth’ promises to bring the intensity and power of the original, while the arrangement allows for a vibrant tempo and development of the scenes,” Jablonski said. “We have great actors who bring incredibly powerful and dynamic performances, as well as fresh interpretations of classic character interactions.”

Coonan is especially excited about the venue at Crossroads Farm. He said the intimate setting helps him accomplish his “ultimate goal” of making Shakespeare accessibly to people.

“It’s important for people to see the characters come to life,” Coonan said. “It takes good actors to find the different layers and the depth of character, and communicate that to the audience.”

Bruce Liby, who is portraying the ill-fated King Duncan and Macduff, said of the production: “This is going to be a fun performance for audience and cast. It will be a small, intimate setting. This abridged version poignantly portrays Macbeth’s journey from hubris to nemesis.”

Coleen Comerford, who plays Ross and Fleance, said, “The cast is full of Shakespeare fans, and the audience will see our enthusiasm in the performance.”

Coonan is a Malverne High School graduate and teaches English in the school district. He helped resurrect the Malverne Community Theatre in 2012, and guided the non-profit through the pandemic.
