We're pleased to see that "the gas-station-exploding-into-a-barbeque effect" in Macbeth received an honourable mention. Ryan goes on to say that "this is why you hire Robert Lepage. Who else can deliver a theatrical match cut?". #SFMacbeth

I don’t love Macbeth as a play (just don’t usually resonate with it), but this production was wonderful! I did not think the tech overwhelmed the production. The visuals were enthralling. Loved McCamus as Macbeth—his voice is just so good! #SFMacbeth

This season’s MABETH is bold, cinematic, and luxurious @stratfest.bsky.social. The technology, effects, and set are enthralling, and an older Macbeth absolutely worked for me. #SFMacbeth
