The staging is exciting, the story line is paced to build to the forewarned conclusion, the language is easy to understand, the characterizations are well-etched, the acting is superb, the technical aspects are excellent, the fight scenes are theatrically real, the creative development of the Three Witches is groundbreaking. All in all, this is a “Macbeth” to be treasured and is a must see production!

Leave it to Great Lakes Theater to raise the bar to
immeasurable heights in their stunning reproduction of this epic Shakespearean
work. It is a great work taken to even greater heights by its faithful
attention to detail. All fans of the Bard must see this and feel free to bring
friends along who are unfamiliar so that they can see how truly magnificent
live theater can be.

Even
while there are stretches of dialogue that are difficult to follow, this
production of Macbeth—augmented by
Kim Krumm Sorneson’s period costumes and Matthew Webb’s well-accented sound
design—has enough blood lust and evil to satisfy old Mac friends as well as newcomers.

Tony Soprano and his gang were sissies compared to Macbeth and his thugs. In its latest presentation of the gory tragedy that is Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Great Lakes Theater has once again semi-transformed into a “mini-Globe” theater, paying homage to Shakespeare’s own London stage. ...BOTTOM LINE: This straight-forward, rapid-fire production of Macbeth touches all the bases, reminding us that ambition is destructive and psychological warfare (what the witches waged against the would-be ruler) kills.
