Note: After a sold-out run at BAM, the play has moved to Broadway, and tickets are going fast.
Director Rupert Goold switches out Scottish castles for Soviet regalia in his modern revamping of Macbeth. Patrick Stewart returns to the stage (he was a commanding theatre star for two decades before helming the Enterprise), expertly tracing Macbeth's descent from misguided ambition into paranoid madness. The set and sound design are revelatory: the Three Strange Sisters deliver their toil-and-trouble scene amid military corpses, and Lady Macbeth's seductions are interspersed with future-shock imagery and discomforting industrial noise, ratcheting up the play's already feverish pitch.
