"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.
