Kabuki Macbeth

Tonight we went to see a performance of "Kabuki Macbeth" at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater Upstairs on navy Pier. The review in the Chicago Sun-Times was enthusiastic and accurate -- but I felt that the performances trod dangerously close to parody of the kabuki style, and at times crossed the line and became almost campy.

The evening stood in marked contrast to the rest of my day, which was spent on such mundane activities as paying bills, renewing car licenses, tidying my desk, etc, etc, etc.
