Dark humor, Edgy, Great acting, Clever

See it if you like a quirky dark comedy about ambition and envy in college kids and showbiz hopes. How far will you go to get a role? Nicely acted.

Don't see it if you don't like to see violence on stage or drunkenness.

"With a fantastic understanding of tone and genre, 'Macbitches' juggles headier themes while remaining a lively college drama."

It is not until the last 15 minutes of Sophie McIntosh’s new play, macbitches, that a dramatic event takes place. Up until then the play is mostly the chit chat of acting majors talking about productions they have been in, eccentric directors they have worked with at the college, rehearsal horrors, and theater experiences elsewhere. While this has some interest for theater buffs, it goes on too long and tends to be more and more of the same. If you know such shows as The Drowsy Chaperone, The Crucible, Hedda Gabler, Antigone, Guys and Dolls and Macbeth very well you may be able to follow the gossip. If not, you may grow very bored by all the anecdotes. There is some talk of the toxic environment of male-run academic departments but very little of it makes much of an impression.

The pleasurable dialogue is a well-crafted amalgam of jokes that land, steady exposition and subtle character delineation. This dark campus comedy is as barbed as its title.

"'Macbitches' is a play that’s likely to linger in one’s mind long after the summer fades. Although the whole production is excellent, it’s the star turn by Dinolan that glows brightest."
