Review: MACBETH, Donmar Warehouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Dec 16, 2023

The run is sold out (as it should be!) and they’re probably already in talks for a transfer (as they should!), but one wonders if this is actually what the future of drama is: a Shakespearean ASMR experience that will be dubbed as immersive. Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
