There's always plenty of gloom and doom in William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Now, Capital Stage has brought back the company's founder Stephanie Gularte as director for its first-ever Shakespeare production, and Gularte has written an original adaptation of the famous Scottish play, projecting it into a post-apocalyptic world, that adds even more gloomy doom to the tale of treachery and madness. W 7pm; Th, F, Sa 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 11/24. $22-$36. Capital Stage, 2215 J St.; (916) 995-5464; www.capstage.org.
