‘Makbet’ is Shakespeare in a shipping container
'Something wicked this way comes' to East Williamsburg
Shakespeare. In a shipping container. With bursts of Eastern European Roma-style singing and chanting. What’s not to like?
Dzieci Theatre is staging “Makbet,” an intense and deeply satisfying version of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth,” at an East Williamsburg recycling center called Sure We Can.
It’s an open-air lot stacked high with shipping containers that are filled with bags of cans and bottles. At the back of the lot, one of the containers is being used as a tiny theatre venue.
