Beneath the charm and perfect manners of young Rhoda Penmark lurks a chilling darkness. When a classmate dies under mysterious circumstances, her mother, Christine, begins to suspect the unthinkable—could her seemingly innocent daughter be a murderer?
Set against the backdrop of 1950s suburban life, Bad Seed is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the terrifying idea of a child with a natural capacity for evil. Adapted from William March’s novel, this Broadway classic keeps audiences questioning: Are monsters born, or are they made?

Is one born evil, or can anyone be seduced by the powers of the dark side? After a victorious battle, Macbeth, a military leader, and hero beyond reproach, meets three witches who prophesy great things for the man – but at what cost? When Lady Macbeth persuades her husband to take action to help the prophesy come true, it sets in motion a runaway train of ambition, betrayal, blood, and madness.
By William Shakespeare
