  • Grace Wagner: macbitches by Sophie McIntosh
    “

    McIntosh perfectly replicates the politics of collegiate theatre with elevated twists and a drunken night that combine to make a fast-paced piece of theatre. A great mix of comedy and drama to strike a chord with theatre-lovers.

    What a delightful, dizzy, and deeply intimate play about the tragic toxicity of theatre - in particular the micro/macrocosm of collegiate theatre - and the messy ass tangled web it weaves in the psyches of of its lifelong students. With naturalistic and bloodily brilliant dialogue, a cunningly dynamic cast of characters, and a tone that drips with a fierce love, loathing, and lingering sense of dread "macbitches" has a wonderful wickedness headed your way so just read it!

    In this piece, McIntosh captures the inelegant natural rhythms of human speech so well and gives us a sizable ensemble of distinct and dynamic roles for young women. The play's descent from lighthearted, sharp satire to something more sinister is compelling and earned. The exploration of misogyny, double standards, and ways inequitable and corrupt systems pit women against one another within academic theater, the theater industry as a whole, and the world at large is complex and nuanced. The thematic/figurative connections with MACBETH itself come to a brilliant head in the final moments!
