Lady Macbeth and Her Lover

See it if you are interested in seeing a show about ambition, love, and manipulation between a poet and her mentor. Creative set and costume changes.

Don't see it if you are not a fan of intimate theater experiences or of shows that deal with death and suicide. Theater is very small and gets very warm.

See it if You like original stories that don’t go where you necessarily expect them to. It’s a small budget so you have to use your imagination a bit.

Don't see it if You can’t overlook a few diamond in the rough sort of flaws. This isn’t perfect by any stretch but it’s immensely intriguing & entertaining.

See it if If you like modern interpretations of Shakespeare, lady Macbeth and female empowered plays.

Don't see it if You don’t like lgbt based plays or plays with suicide endings. You don’t like multiple roles played by the same actress

Don't see it if you do not like small cast shows & intimate (tiny) theaters.

Seats were very uncomfortable.... Read more Read less

Also Seemed the playwright was working out an ambivalence towards God and women, and too much exposition in the writing was a bit distracting, the characters had little moral fibre and were not very relatable, and the story was seriously gloomy with no arc of redemption, although the actors did very well with challenging material and complex characters.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to ponder an artist and muse relationship, and see a woman undress on stage. Twice.

Don't see it if you are expecting a "thriller."

Also "Psychological thriller" it is not. This show deals with manipulation but it is terribly predicable. Not a lot of conflict here or even the joy of a big reveal. And the theater is unbearable hot and not due to what's going on onstage. Actors give a valiant try but they are not given a lot to work with.... Read more Read less

See it if Want to listen to a treatise on poetry

Don't see it if You care about predictably - the plot is obvious from the start.

See it if humorless revenge drama seems like a good way to spend an evening.

Don't see it if you are feeling tired -- the room is hot and the play is slow.

See it if you love discussing poetry.

Don't see it if you expect to see dramatic action, conflict or development.

Also The title made me feel that this was a bait-and-switch. The set up has nothing to do with "the play the should not be mentioned." Instead, the play is a series of scenes that not only are predictable but avoid dramatic tension. There are no surprises here. The unlikely coincident of a plot plods onward with little finesse. Moreover, the play talks about art and poetry with sophomoric insight. Without giving too much away, this is a poets Pygmalion. The conniving mentor and the aspiring poet who follows in her mothers footsteps. Way too predictable.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Very small stinky space. Script lacked surprise and characters were flat.
