Out, out!
Get outside with the bloody tragedy of “Macbeth” this weekend. Actors dressed in Elizabethan garb will scamper across Brooklyn Bridge Park during the show, turning the Harbor View lawn into the blasted Scottish heath and the upland trees into Birnam Wood, while audiences trail behind. If you miss Friday night’s show, there will be more on Saturday and Sunday.

11 am–3 pm at Green-Wood Cemetery [Fifth Avenue and 25th Street in Greenwood Heights, (718) 210–3080, www.green
