Review: MACBETH, starring Sam Heughan and Lia Williams
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 26, 2025
Something wicked this way comes: it’s another exciting high-concept Shakespeare. Director Daniel Raggett moves the action of the Scottish Play to a safe-house pub in the midst of a racketeering war. Succession meets Sons of Anarchy with a hint of The Sopranos in this daring, new production. With a hypnotic tempo that’s almost cinematic in nature, Raggett leaves you on the edge of your seat, gasping for air, mouth gaping and eyes wide. It’s Macbeth like you’ve never seen it before. Is it an extravagant idea on paper? It sure is. Does it work? Flawlessly and explosively so.

Review: EDWARD II, Swan Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - Mar 6, 2025
'I'll bandy with the barons and the earls, and either die or live with Gaveston.' There has been much conjecture over the centuries as to the true nature of Edward II’s relationship with Piers Gaveston; were they friends, committed partners, or something in between? It’s not something for which we can ever have conclusive proof, thanks to the passing of time and the fact that sexuality wasn’t as rigidly defined in medieval times as it is now. Christopher Marlowe had his own thoughts about the pair, and that is what we see brought to life in his history play.
