Macbeth makeover: Play to showcase Oakland Square
Post Gazette: "Live theater makes its debut on Oakland Square Wednesday night, in a gutted house in which we find Macbeth as a drywall contractor."
The idea of taking a classic play and trying to use it as real estate advertisement to take homes away from college students doesn't sound like it could possibly be a good thing. However, a man using his own job/talent and mixing it with theater to get a totally different point across is an amazing idea. I am torn between whether I agree with him or not. Of course, it could me that working on "The Scottish Play" has conditioned me to think that anything associated with it can't possibly be good. -Natasha Alejandro
