Macbeth is the story of a man who murders his king and usurps the throne. For Elizabethan audiences, this would have been tragic, but not unfamiliar. Today, we would consider this an act of "terrorism." A Tale Told By An Idiot uses Shakespeare's Macbeth to explore the notion of Terrorism as Performance, and to imagine the "stage fright" that might visit the terrorist as they plan their action.

Stylistically, the project is a comic book brought to life. Highly skilled physical actors, clad in black, execute deceptively simple stage tricks. The effect is both engrossing and engaging and left one critic saying:

"The fast lighting work made each scene almost cinematic, in that
there were multiple panels of action vying for attention, instead of
one landscape bound by three realistic dimensions... The effects were
dark, poignant, thought provoking and visually stunning."
-Jeffrey Day, The State, Columbia, SC
