Stage Review: Artist gives 'Macbeth' a unique foundation

Post Gazette: "You could call it 'Macbeth: The House Tour.'
Or maybe 'Neighborhood Theater: Macbeth Does Drywall.'
Or, if you've been following the wonderfully eccentric career of Steve Pellegrino, performance artist, abstract poet, accordionist, composer, entrepreneur and professional drywall installer, as I have for two decades, 'Pellegrino Goes Legit.'"

This has two elements that make it very interesting. The fact that it seems to change location and the fact that it is modernized. It sounds appealing. If it does not actually take place in a theatre, does the curse of Macbeth still hold true?

I love the idea of a walking theatre tour. While I was in Edinburgh over the summer there was a walking tour of Macbeth that went through all of the closes and weird alleys and courtyards and some houses and things while they performed the show. It was really really cool to actually be in Scotland and see the show being done. I really like the idea of making this a modern tour through Pittsburgh, but is it too cliche and lame making it about Pittsburgh specifically? (Not that I don't think Pittsburgh is the greatest city in the world, because I do.)
