MACBETH

#0MACBETH

hi guys....

I recently (saturday) saw MACBETH at the Delectore, part of Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park....What did you guys think? I know this sight follows the cliche' musical a little bit more- but Ive been living in the city for about a month (Julliard Drama in the Fall! Wahoo) and Ive seen bassically all the musicals, and I gotta say this performance really tops the summer season off for me, and Meryl hasnt even came up yet!!!

I thought the peice was brilliant, a masterpeice if you will. Leiv blew me away. Even before he became king, you could tell he was carrying so much weight on his shoulders. Completly internal. Then Jennifer as Lady Mcbeth! Wow! So....Human...I know she didnt get the strong reviews like Mr.M, but i found the character so real- Not related to other performances (RSC version and almost all others) where she is played strong with no emotions- practically another witch. I really was concerned about the couple- not just the war...>A real emotional experience....kudos to director (Moises Kauffman)-- The set- brilliant....

A great show, with great performances......at a time where it is needed....

Just thoght I'd share.....lol.....
