Macbeth

Quintessence Language and Imagination Theatre
July 9, 2004

Hold on as director JoAnn Johnson speeds through weak exposition to fast-forward to good stuff. Minimal production successfully focuses on Shakespeare’s fundamental of language. Of note, though disparate: declamatory Macbeths, authentic Macduff and lissom Wayward Sisters--but, above all, Hal Logan’s outstanding surround-sound design that simply and effectively underscores tragedy.
