The last season in the grove. I will miss this stage as the redwoods are beautiful. But tonight it got cold when the fog came in, which would've worked for Macbeth if we didn't freeze our butts.
This was the 2nd preview night so the kinks weren't worked out. Lots of women in traditional male roles, but that was cool. The ghost scene was played for comedy which didn't work for me at all. Lots of swordfights but they all sucked, although they were all armoury broadswords save Macbeth's. The witches were good. Overall the weakest we've seen by this company. Having lived on Macbeth for over a decade, this play is dear to me. The show was upstaged by a raccoon climbing a redwood.
