Theatre reviews: The Macbeths | Spamalot | Pleading

DOMINIC HILL of the Citizens’ is one of the finest directors of main-stage classic productions ever to work in Scotland; but for this new vision of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, co-created with dramaturg Frances Poet, he turns to the most intimate kind of studio theatre, and to a brief 70-minute version of the text played out around the sweaty darkness of the bed where the Macbeths make love, and conjure up hatred and horror, in equal measure.
