Worlds Elsewhere Theatre Company Presents:
MacDeath
Premiered
WETC is proud to present a new charity project, and the soft open of the Worlds Elsewhere Theatre Company 2022 Season:
On January 22nd, 2pm US ET, Jamie McConnaughy and a cast of WETC players will be playing the D&D 5e module “MacDeath”, written by Daniel DeFazio, in which a team of intrepid thanes loyal to King Duncan challenge Macbeth and his cronies for the throne. The game will be streamed live on the WETC Youtube channel as a charity stream benefitting Amnesty International and WETC.
Be bloody, bold, and resolute!
Company Artistic Statement
Theatre, given its nature as a medium made of people in space, has always been a first victim during times of plague.
When the COVID-19 pandemic spread through the world at the start of the year 2020, theatres closed, and millions were left unemployed.
Worlds Elsewhere Theatre Company was founded during this terrifying time. It is our mission to create theatre without a theatre - to create a space online that can serve as a theatrical one. Our company shall create an online space that serves the same function that theatre has served for millennia – as a place of catharsis and healing.
Support Our Charity
MacDeath was streamed on January 22nd to support Amnesty International, one of the biggest and most impactful human rights organizations on the planet. While we are no longer collecting donations, you can donate them directly on their website. WETC fully supports their mission of global human rights, and are honored to support that goal. A full list of stream donors is included at the end of this program. Our amazing donors raised $787 during the stream and the remainder of that weekend, 80% of which will be going to Amnesty (the remaining 20% will go towards WETC’s upcoming projects).

About This Production
When I first conceived of doing a charity stream of MacDeath with World’s Elsewhere, I figured I’d get some of my friends who are members involved, maybe get a retweet from the official twitter account and just sort of handle the rest myself. By the time we actually got to the final live stream, I was floored by how much everyone had stepped up to help me. Our cause, Amnesty International, is an important one, both to me and to the world at large, and I’m so proud of the work everyone did to make sure it was the best damn version of Macbeth, as interpreted by D&D, it could be. I hope you enjoy watching it half as much as we enjoyed playing it.
