Macbeth (The Art House Theatre)

See it if You enjoy innovative treatment of classic plays, are not a literary purist, do not need big fancy sets, enjoy performance in intimate spaces

Don't see it if You enjoy classic plays presented only as the playwright intended, cannot reconcile seeing modern settings of classic plays

See it if Your interested in a modern twist on an everlasting classic. This was one of the best shows ever and I'm a creature of the arts.

Don't see it if If you are not into the new age style, modern twists, or an old head!

See it if You are ready to be thrilled. The lead actor was engaging from beginning to end. The rest of the case was just as amazing.

Don't see it if If you are not into smaller stages / small casts. The director was very resourceful with this one and found a way to make it work.

See it if You love new, refreshing, underground theatre in NYC.

Don't see it if You prefer large-scale classic, broadway shows.

See it if You like excitement, great acting, and being filled with a mix of emotions.

Don't see it if You have the same mindset as the critic that rated this a 55. Some people just don't seem to appreciate modern twists on classics.

Also Whoever did the casting for this show was amazing. All of the actors played their roles perfectly. I will be going to their next show.... Read more Read less

See it if U appreciate off-off-Broadway shows that will make you question why they aren't on Broadway, and if you appreciate true artistic creativity~

Don't see it if If you only value musicals. This also wouldn't be a good first show to bring a child to.

Also After seeing the show I couldn't stop talking about it with my date. We have been looking for fun things to do in NYC, and after seeing some terrible shows in the past, we were hesitant. Now, we honestly cant wait to see what The Art House Theatre puts out next. I will be at ALL of their performances from now on with my girlfriend. Thank you Art House, thank you actors, and thank you to the entire crew. This was an affordable date that delivered an unbelievable amount of value. GREAT EFFIN WORK!... Read more Read less

See it if You are interested in watching an amazing group of actors put a brilliant modern twist onto a Shakespeare classic. Best I've seen!

Don't see it if You are spooked by the thought of witches. Also, if you can't handle seeing fake guns being used to depict acts of violence.

Also While the original is much longer, this rendition of Macbeth packed everything you need into 90 minutes. The performers were intense, passionate, and thorough. The use of space & lighting was designed and executed perfectly. Macbeth (Tanner Maroney) truly makes you feel like you are living in the moment with him. As Macbeth continued to struggle with a roller coaster of emotions, you feel like you are on the same ride. The modern spin that they put on this really put it over the top for me. They were able perfectly blend 11th century Scotland with modern day weapons/tech. This show was really impressive, and I would encourage just about anyone to check it out.... Read more Read less
