Shakespeare’s Macbeth was the ultimate doomed weaver—relentlessly twisting reality’s threads until he found himself snug in a shroud. His final undoing came when the English, disguised as a forest, overtook his castle at Dunsinane, toppling the corrupt king and mounting his head on a stick.
It’s a play with blood and humor to spare. And director Silbert submerges us in both.
