Review: SHAKESPEARE'S R&J, Reading Rep

The curse struck again on press night of The Watermill Theatre's London transfer of Macbeth, with Lauryn Redding (allegedly) dislocating both knees during Paul Hart's energetic opening. A hero was lying low in the audience.

The show went on to be an electric and sexually charged revisitation of the tragedy.
