Sleep No More

I saw this play last night. It was a creation of Punchdrunk, an English theater group that creates walk-through plays in abandoned places, and it was put on here by the A.R.T. at The Lincoln School in Brookline. I won't say much about this except that you must go see it if you are able. It was a phenomenal theatrical experience, one I don't think I'll ever forget. If you need a description, I'll give you this: 40 rooms to walk through, 18 actors/dancers performing MacBeth, music by Bernard Herrman, and some of the creepiest, most beautiful set design I've ever seen.

The Best of Both Worlds

If you live in the Boston area I recommend this musical version of Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale. Like its source material, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but the production is excellent and the singing is some of the best I've ever heard.
