Phillip Psutka is the Writer, Director and Fight Director of “WEIRD: The Witches of Macbeth” at Stratford’s SpringWorks Festival.

He is also the Executive Director of Theatre Arcturus.

Returning from last year’s SpringWorks festival, WEIRD opens on May 12 with a 5 performance run.

The spectacular show blends original text and storytelling with circus arts, stage combat, and original music.

WEIRD opens up vertical space as the Witches climb, twist and move through the air, conjuring the haunting forces that will lead Macbeth to his end.

I wasn’t kidding with that “vertical space” line.

Naturally this show wouldn’t happen without the highly specialized talents of a group of innovative artists led by Phillip Psutka.

He is a recipient of the Rapier Wit Award (Canada’s first school for stage combat) as well as a Tyrone Guthrie Award from the Stratford Festival.

He graduated with Distinction from the University of Windsor’s B.F.A. in Acting program.

He holds an Advanced Actor Combatant Certification with Full Distinction (FDC).

He is now apprenticing to become a Certified Fight Instructor.

He wrote, directed, and choreographed fights for WEIRD, which won Best of Fest at the 2015 Ottawa Fringe Festival.
