Description
A solid but unexceptional framework—a battle-worn and vaguely futuristic world—deploys Macbeth's “vaulting ambition” in contemporary dress against a blank-slate set. But it's just as well the show's not over-conceptualized; instead, Julianne Ehre has packed it with a capable, watchable and youngish—though their mastery of the play's language doesn't belie their years—cast. What's best about this show is its commitment to depicting an unstable world—to paraphrase Macbeth, what crowns its thoughts with action.—Megan Powell
