    A brilliant retelling of Macbeth. Both the dialogue and stage directions are perfectly crafted. Would love to be able to see it live!"

    Wow! Equal parts chilling and hilarious. Alex Lin's dialog is so real and directions so witty that I couldn't put this play down. "some kids defenestrate themselves and run for the hills" might be the best stage direction I've read in my life. The gore and atmosphere in this play would be an exciting challenge for any designer or director, and the pacing is AMAZING for acting work. I truly hope I get to see "beth" staged some day.

    One of the very coolest, funniest, edgiest, and necessary Shakespeare riffs - and one of my new favorite Macbeth riffs - I’ve ever read. I would KILL to see this staged.
