Great writing, Great staging, Intelligent, Relevant, Clever

See it if well...I mean...it's Shakespeare. Red Bull has hit the mark with this creative presentation of a play that often seems too familiar.

Don't see it if you want a traditional telling of this play. The production is much more about the play of the girls than the bard.

Edgy, Must see, Riveting, Ambitious, Great staging

Don't see it if If you just can’t abide Shakespeare at all. If you can’t abide anything being altered about Shakespeare

Resonant, Intense, Great acting, Edgy, Ambitious

See it if You enjoy the Bard's classics but want something different, outrageous, sincere, bloody and bold. This is a MacBeth unlike any other.

Don't see it if You don't like teenage girls and manic energies. Avoid if Shakespeare and old English confuse you. This version is NOT for squeamish!

Intense, Intelligent, Edgy, Great acting, Clever

See it if you like takes on Shakespeare.. if you like great conceptual theatre...and seeing wonderful young talent... I LOVED this

Don't see it if you insist on every word of Shakespeare being there...if you're particularly squeamish...if you aren't willing to growth a very bold take

Great acting, Absorbing, Clever

See it if you want to learn that the horrible consequences of Macbeth"s ambition are not limited to him and his time..you want a smart production.

Don't see it if you have not read the play or you want to keep your language simple.

Powerful adaptation that's fun and chilling at the same time

See it if Clever, high energy show with a very talented young cast. One of the best adaptations I've seen. Hats off to Erica Schmidt.

Don't see it if You are a Shakespeare purist. It's not Macbeth. It's Mac Beth.

Riveting, Intense, Edgy, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if you want great acting mixed with a healthy dose of macabre humor that is unlike anything you've seen.

Don't see it if bloody tampons, dead babies or same sex kissing offend you.
