Review: Macbeth, Melbourne Theatre Company — June 2017
<p>This is Director Simon Phillips’s second <em>Macbeth</em> for the MTC. It ought to be recognised as a great and bold production and celebrated for its quintessentially Australian scepticism towards authority and tradition. It has the potential to guide generations more comfortable with the conventions of cinema into the orbit of both Shakespeare and the theatre respectively. It does so without sacrificing any of the majesty of the original verse, the richness of the themes or quality of the acting. After an enthralling 110 minutes without interval, the principal feeling one is left with at the end of Phillips’s <em>Macbeth</em> is sheer <em>enjoyment</em> at having been so entertained.</p>
