📍 Theatre: Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble
Share
These two one acts are subjective and satirical interpretations of the works of William Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett. The Magic of Lady M. by Laura Scruggs reimagines Macbeth as a feminist political satire in a style akin to John Waters or RuPaul's Drag Race. A Needless & Wasteful Requirement by Robert MacCrae follows two actresses awaiting the performance rights to produce Waiting for Godot, becoming an existential absurd comedy in the vein of Beckett himself.
