New York City
Shakespeare’s classic couple are transformed into two young, wealthy, childless hipsters with exceedingly sharp tastes in clothing and insatiable appetites for more of everything. The sex is hot, if always tinged by that faint sense that their questionable fertility leaves them ultimately unable to make a future. Ambitions run amuck, turning to material means of self-definition: money, fashion, fame – and power. Macbeth has never looked so good, danced so hard, or killed with such style. Mark Jackson directs.
