REVIEW: Ex Machina’s leather-clad Macbeth is slick, current, and unmistakably Quebecois
Given that this production premiered in English at the Stratford Festival last year, I was curious how Robert Lepage might adapt the work for a Francophone context. By layering narrative adaptation, rich linguistic translation, and visual elements of mass media, Lepage delivers a Macbeth that is current and compelling.
