For the Power Couple Rupert Goold and Kate Fleetwood, Theater Is Their Castle
New York Times: "Rupert Goold, the acclaimed young British theater director, is, by his own admission, “not of the school of Peter Brook.” He likes bells and whistles. His “Macbeth,” which was such a hit at the Brooklyn Academy of Music that it recently transferred to Broadway, is set in a vaguely Stalinist era and staged in a tiled abattoirlike space that was partly inspired by the horror movie “Saw.” There are rear-projections of goose-stepping Russians, and the walls ooze blood, just the way they do in “The Shining.” At one point Macbeth makes himself a cheese-and-pickle sandwich, and at another Lady Macbeth fetches a chocolate cake from an industrial-size fridge."
