Catch "Macbeth" today

By weeklyvolcano on November 11, 2007

Shakespeare In the Parking Lot Theatre Company is continuing its run of "Macbeth: When the Hurley Burley's Done" with a performance at Mandolin Cafe today at 2 p.m.

This locally adapted version of William Shakespeare's classic takes a political spin as Macbeth runs for president, illustrating the political corruption and power angle of the Bard's masterpiece.

The bubble-bubble witches are political advisors Macbeth visits for advice on his next move while his life gets complicated thanks to his politically ambitious wife, who just happens to be a popular Senator in a life-imitates art sort of Bill Clinton sort of way.
