Macbeth in the Basement

DC Theatre Scene: If there’s an award for best promotional materials at Fringe, Macbeth in the Basement would win hands down: their paper crowns are a hot commodity. But in attempting to adapt the world of Shakespeare’s Scotland to the smaller drama of an American high school, Macbeth doesn’t nearly reach the same standard. It’s a bold effort from a group of young performers, but it is under-rehearsed and its disparate elements lack much sense of cohesion.
