I am thinking about seeing this. It’s way down in Red Hook, NJ – about 75 miles from here, but it looks like it could be fun. It is not Shakespeare’s best, especially the last act, but you can’t complain about a play with character like Lady Macbeth .
“The Scottish Play” (as actors always call it) has great lines like “There’s daggers in men’s smiles.” and “It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” It is worth seeing one more time. It is also much better viewed on a stage then read. Shakespeare always seems flat in the reading, but comes alive on the stage. I think it is because the actors really enjoy doing a Shakespeare play.
Obie and Emmy Award-winner Teller (of Penn & Teller) teams with TRTC Artistic Director Aaron Posner to reimagine Macbeth as a startling, supernatural horror show. Bloody, chilling, and hallucinatory, it will draw you inside the twisted minds of the theater’s most celebrated husband-and-wife murder team. A breathtaking grand guignol take on Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy.
