Macbeth
"Arin Arbus's assured, insightful interpretation of Shakespeare's most streamlined tragedy, creates a portrait of someone who, from the beginning, is clearly and irrevocably doomed by his own nature. "
Ben Brantley
Why see Macbeth?
This new production of Shakespeare’s Scottish play reunites Ms. Arbus with John Douglas Thompson who won OBIE and Lucille Lortel Awards for his performance in Arbus’s remarkable production of Othello two seasons ago for Theatre for a New Audience.
The genius of Macbeth has to do with the essential contradiction of its central character. Macbeth is capable of terrifying brutality, but his brutality is matched by the magnificence of his poetry.
He manifests the worst in man and yet we see ourselves in him. His words strike us and we realize that we have him within us.

This is a Macbeth for our times- funny and heart-breaking in its deconstructed scale. Worked for me on a profound level. ... Read more

Best Production Ever despite the seats
I got rush tickets through sold inc (professional line sitters) for only 157 each-
seating was uncomfortable but I enjoyed immensely - would have been pissed if
I paid $800 for what I endured. My tailbone still hurts lol but Kenneth was
phenomenal!! ... Read more
