If you’re interested in seeing some Shakespeare, don’t make the mistake of going for the big names you can see on Broadway. Do yourself a favor and go to the village to see Red Bull Theater’s MAC BETH, Adapted and Directed by Erica Schmidt at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Firstly, you’ll be seeing a far superior production, and secondly, you’ll be saving yourself a chunk of change. And, side benefit, you’ll be spending 100 riveting minutes instead of 210 head-scratching minutes. Oops, did I say that? Read my full review here…
