Review: MACBETH at Shakespeare Theatre Company
by Dara Homer - Apr 15, 2024

STC’s Macbeth highlights brutal pairs: war and domestic life, grief and humor, brief words and permanent consequences. While the setting could feel unassuming—indeed, audiences must make their way through the parking lot of a Home Depot when arriving via metro—it also shows how extravagant it is to create a theatre space from scratch. This over-the-top, hollowed-out aesthetic fits the world of the play, where titles and status belie a fear of impermanence. Combined with raw, vulnerable performances, this is a powerful take on the timeless tragedy.

This is the call to enter the theatre and audience members are greeted by scenes of destruction and soldiers staring with empty eyes at the chaos around them.'
