Ambitious, Entertaining, Great Staging, Indulgent, Original

See it if It was like Wolpe & her 2 costars were in two different plays: they weren't as good as her & she was in drag & they were not. 'Great sets!

Don't see it if You don't know Macbeth well. It'd B frustrating & confusing 4 those unfamiliar w/ Macbeth. Casting could've been better. 'Great adaptation!

Ambitious, Confusing, Dizzying, Edgy, Intense

See it if If you like Shakespeare in any form, if you like truncated Shakesoeare and unique casting.

Don't see it if If you don't like over the top intensity, multiple roles per actor or huge edits or the set of Cats. Macbeth on steroids

Ambitious, Disappointing, Original

See it if you want to see a trimmed-down CliffsNotes-version of the play with only three actors.

Don't see it if you're expecting new revelations due to the gender-swapping...or if you're a Shakespeare purist.

Clever, Dizzying, Entertaining, Great Acting, Intense

See it if you appreciate a woman who can do producing/writing/directing also if you are into the gender bending genre in the theater , fastpaced

Don't see it if you don't understand Shakespearean dialogue; don't understand the concept of gender bending; cant keep up with rapid costume changes

The Drunken Odyssey
August 2nd, 2016

“Fewer characters, blended scenes, and one single simple set throughout brought in a resounding applause a little over an hour later. ‘Macbeth3’ is as dark as Shakespeare’s original vision, if not darker and maybe a little more satanic. Lisa Wolpe’s execution of this gender-bent tragic tale is clever and, in comparison to other Shakespeare renditions, revolutionary.”
