Kennelly Review Macbeth at Great Lakes
William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, *Macbeth*, produced by Great Lakes Theater at Playhouse Square, explores the down side of power and kingship. “The Scottish Play,” directed by Sara Bruner, returns to the Hanna Theater still as relevant as it was when first produced during the reign of Great Britain’s King James I. Yes, different times, different rulers, but the same vanities and ambitions continue to worry today’s humans. The darkly lit stage, at times making it hard to see who was who and what was going on, provided a forewarning of the evil to come. Small spots of light showed paths and ways out as characters raced around (usually while trying not to be murdered—didn’t work for them most times). But we know this is a tragedy, right?
