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.

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.
