What I liked
I loved the sharp rhyming wit of the dialogue and the bawdy humor that was embraced throughout the duration of the play. I was also pleasantly surprised by how Lance Frantzich’s portrayal of The Witch redefined and added to my understanding of the iconic Shakespeare character.
What I didn't like
My overall impression
It was an entertaining play that both amused me and made me think. The humor was fast-paced, but every once in awhile there was time for careful thought and reflection as numerous characters gave beautifully worded political speeches. These political undertones helped connect Shakespeare’s centuries-old plots and themes to our current era. Nothing bothers me more than when I leave a production asking myself, “What was the point of all that?” Luckily, the only thing I asked myself after MacDeth was, “How could so many clever rhymes fit into one play?!”
