Macbeth is a Shakespearean play about power, doing whatever it takes to get it, and subsequent remorse. New York's Park Avenue Armory is the most amazing performance space. The two came together for me recently.

To get to my seat I walked through a muddy heath, a murky landscape, reminiscent of Stonehenge. The lighting in this colossal space was gorgeous. The colors were mostly mud brown and red. At times sound effects billowed from every corner. Set in medieval Scotland, the production emphasized the clan-based power structure. After two gripping hours I stumbled out again over the rocky terrain to the sound of a lone bagpiper. A totally immersive experience from start to finish - like a film but better. This video sets the scene.
