Unsex Me Here:  The Tragedy of Macbeth

By William Shakespeare
​directed by Maggie Cino

was presented at  The Brick Theater from November 8 - 23, 2019

A post-apocalyptic, post-gender society at the end of empire.  
A “Mad Max” world in which titles and prophecy mean nothing. 
And everything.

Unsex Me Here leans towards the subtle, the intimate, and the personal,. . .O'Brien brings fine-drawn nuance to Lady Macbeth right from her first scene . . . O’Brien and Stone generate palpable chemistry and tension . . . Stone's reaching out reflexively to touch Lady Macbeth after hearing of her death is one of those small but effective and memorable moments that characterize this production . . . Vaughan is excellent as Macduff  . . . This casting experiment imparts new energy to familiar scenes . . . One hopes that it won't require an apocalypse for us to begin to rethink gendered normativities (including their reinforcement through language), and Unsex Me Here: The Tragedy of Macbeth provides an entertaining starting point with a singular (re)vision.
