The cost of producing Shakespeare rarely comes with a discount, financially or psychologically. Even after 400 years of unbroken performance histories, the plays keep demanding more.

Out, damned spotlight! SITI Company explores that Scottish play
Like your Bard with a little bondage? Then indie-theater impresario Frank Cwiklik's S&M reimagining of the Scottish play will certainly titillate your senses.
Most everything about this Macbeth feels second-rate and half-conceived, as if yanked from the Public¹s storage and absentmindedly dusted off five minutes before curtain.
CJ Wilson and Jacqueline Antaramian will play Macbeth and his Lady, respectively, in Wilma Theater's season-opener, Shakepeare's Macbeth , in Philadelphia.
The tale of bloody ambition fits comfortably in this feudal militaristic environment and at the same time is infused with intriguingly different cultural dimensions.
