Ron Hufham, the theater's Artistic Director said,
"Shakespeare may have written plays with greater scope - <EM>Hamlet, Twelfth
Night, King Henry the Fourth, </EM>and<EM> King Lear </EM>come to mind - but in
no other play does his writing begin at such a high rhetorical pitch and climb
upward into a kind of bloody bliss from there. If you were made
to suffer through this play in High School suspecting that you were missing
something, then this is your chance for revenge. You will never again
utter or hear such great dramatic poetry than at this reading.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%">
<FONT face=Calibri
size=3>"In a way this play is Shakespeare's only extended anatomy of marital
dynamics which begins in a united pursuit of a mutual goal only to end in
divided and solitary horror. It is not unusual for Lady Macbeth to come
across as a Dragon Lady, and Macbeth to seem under her wicked thumb.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Macbeth recognizes from the first
meeting with the witches the full moral dimension of their usurpation. He
knows that his wife will never understand the implications of their act. But he
knows as well that turning his battlefield ruthlessness <EM>for</EM> King Duncan
<EM>against </EM>the King will require the fanning of his ambition
that she will contribute from her fierce personal, domestic, and erotic
longings. He knows, as she does not, that this regicide will divorce them
forever. Lady Macbeth is the first victim Macbeth consumes, and the last to
perish: 'she should have died hereafter - tomorrow...' - when what he means is
that she should have died herebefore - yesterday... .</FONT></P>

style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%">
<FONT face=Calibri
size=3>"In none of the brilliant productions of this play in modern times
starring great actors as the Macbeths like Jason Robards, Siobhán McKenna,
Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Ian McKellan, Judi Dench, Anthony Sher,
Liev Schreiber, or most recently Patrick Stewart, has there been any
real realization of the other half of the play - the triumph of
justice. No where was this clearer than in the Classic Theater of Harlem's
outdoor production in which a popular audience loudly cheered on every
advancement toward Macbeth's destruction. They were not a bourgeois audience
safely pitty-patting the great acting of well known performers. They were a mass
body who had experienced insults in their flesh and to their hopes that
Macbeth's murders cogently stood in for. I'm sure Shakespeare's
groundlings had a similar reaction - else why include any but the most skeletal
scenes for the good guys?"</FONT></P>
