'Marionette Macbeth' gets tangled in its own strings

Chicago Tribune: "Chicago Shakespeare Theater's 'Marionette Macbeth' -- wherein the tale of the Thane of Cawdor is voiced by Chicago performers and visualized by more than 100 wooden, 3-foot Italian actors -- is a unique, ambitious and wholly admirable enterprise."

That's a shame that the voices hinder the beauty and true art of the marionettes. I would have to imagine that attempting to give vocal life to a puppet is quite difficult, though. I've never seen a performace like this, but from a design stand point, I'd be quite interested.
