Macbeth

My wife and I have been talking about attending the Georgia Shakespeare Festival since we moved here in 2001, but somehow we never got around to do it. Finally saw Shakespeare's Macbeth tonight. A very good production. Daniel May played Macbeth and gave an adequate performance. However, Marni Penning, who played Lady Macbeth, and Brik Berkes, who played Macduff, gave truly outstanding performances.

Production was very good and very standard (no odd modernist elements or background changes, just Shakespeare as it was meant to be done). There was one interesting non-standard element in the casting - a man (Bruce Evers, who did a very credible job with the part) was cast as one of the three weird sisters. An interesting choice; between his physical size and the way he was made up he actually looked a great deal like Tim Cassidy as Ruk in Star Trek:
