Get ready for an evening of Macbeth played by one very drunken actor and 3 other very sober but very silly other actors. I like theatre. I like Shakespeare. I've read Macbeth and am familiar with the story. This was not Macbeth. It was raucous, brainless, and impossible to follow. Actors - drunk or sober - would switch from the classic lines of the Bard to pop culture references to detailed explanations of what's going on in the story. Audience participation made things more difficult to follow - not less - and all in all, it left me very confused about what the heck I'd just seen and why I'd spent 2 hours of my life seeing it. If you want to go for drinks and to laugh at a bunch of nonsense, that's what you'll get. If you actually want something cultural to do, go elsewhere. Me, I wasn't impressed - though I thought all of the actors were incredibly talented, I just didn't care for the show.
