dreamsharkJust the Scottish play: Macbeth's Awesome Scottish Castle Party. It wasn't all that awesome, really. Amusing, in a dumb and highly energetic way, but Joe Scrimshaw can write much better stuff than this. The insanely talented cast seems a bit overqualified for the rather sophomoric material. Still, it's all good fun. The interpretation of Lady Macbeth is one you won't soon forget.
The really disappointing part was the venue. Since they advertised food and beer with the show, we thought it was going to be in one of those dining rooms at the Black Forest with the big wooden tables. Instead it was in a room full of folding chairs and large pillars, with just 3 or 4 tiny round tables here and there. We made the mistake of ordering food (which you have to do at the front desk before you enter the performance area) only to discover that the plates would have to be balanced on our laps. So... dinner party or not, food is a bad idea. Beer, on the other hand, is a necessity. It's the kind of humor that is vastly improved by beer.
