Macbeth by William Shakespeare
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It’s been a couple year, but I’ll remember this as best I can.
Macbeth is a cop. He’s the wild style cop, always shooting first, asking questions later (if at all). The Riggs, if you will. And he’s teamed up with Macduff, who’s a by-the-book kind of guy. Together they have to solve a crime entitled:
Ghost Dad.
Back in Shakespeare times, all crimes where given titles by the police department. It was a more decadent time.
These two hit the streets to pursue a killer, who also just so happens to be Macbeth’s stepdad! Or maybe not! That’s the mystery part.
With the help of a rascally ghost, a talking panda, and a tiny robot that transforms into a pistol, this Dynamic Duo is on the case!
I don’t want to spoil the whole thing, but if you start to get bored, keep reading, because the ending fight where Macbeth and Macduff charge into the enemy stronghold with a battle van, complete with mounted machine guns and rocket launcher, is bound to please any action junkie.
For fans of nudity, Lady Macbeth is CONSTANTLY spilling stuff on herself and disrobing. This is clearly a clumsy attempt to throw some nudity in, especially when she manages to spill Kool-Aid on her thong. I mean, how do you manage to spill something on an undergarment so small?
I don’t know if this play has gotten the big screen treatment yet, but I think that Gymkata is pretty much the same plot and feel, so you can just watch that instead.
