If the three Weird Sisters aren’t enough to creep you out and give you bad dreams, Lord and Lady Macbeth will take you further down the road to Bonkersville. For fans of the macabre this show has all the elements and keeps the tension tight throughout with little touches of comedy to keep you off balance. The very last scene with the Weird Sisters and the new King will definitely raise your neck hairs. This productions is indeed something wicked this way comes.

William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Macbeth, produced by Great Lakes Theater at Playhouse Square, explores the down side of power and kingship.

“The Scottish Play,” directed by Sara Bruner, returns to the Hanna Theater still as relevant as it was when first produced during the reign of Great Britain’s King James I.

Yes, different times, different rulers, but the same vanities and ambitions continue to worry today’s humans.

The darkly lit stage, at times making it hard to see who was who and what was going on, provided a forewarning of the evil to come. Small spots of light showed paths and ways out as characters raced around (usually while trying not to be murdered—didn’t work for them most times). But we know this is a tragedy, right?

Directed by Sara Bruner, The Scottish Play is dark, brooding and thrilling, the story of a general seduced by ambition and then consumed by madness.
