Shakespeare at his most raucous - A brilliant, maniacal experience.... The cast are incredible in terms of their commitment and authenticity to the Bard ... Yet they engage the audience to throw off their limitations with the greatest playwright of all time and indulge in a raucous, life enhancing experience.... If you're cultured in any way you'll have a brilliant experience.... however , should you be devoid of humour , suggest you give this fun a swerve ....... Only those who knows what's funny ... and educative should apply for tickets 🍺🍺👍😊

Very relaxed, fun, highly entertaining performance in a fabulous intimate venue - Absolutely brilliant show. I'm not a big Shakespeare fan but this show was hilarious. The cast were so talented and the energy was amazing. One of the big highlights of my trip to NYC. Highly recommend.

MacBeth but make it funny - My boyfriend surprised me for Christmas with this fun show. We didn't wait that long on line. The staff were friendly and funny. The space was clean. The main room reminded me of the restaurant Jekyll and Hyde up on 57th Street because of all the old library books around the room. The members of the cast were funny and strong performers. Their improv was great. We saw Macbeth and I would love to return to see a different show. The drink given to us upon entering the main room was alright. I don't like the taste of alcohol but my boyfriend enjoyed the drinks. They did seem a bit on the small side for what was paid but inflation. Lol. I recommended this event to friends and I hope to return.

Mac B is the man. - The performance was amazing. A great blend of script and improv. Loved every second of it. It wasn’t too long, wasn’t too short. It felt like we were in a secret place doing secret things. The drinks were good and the service to bring them to us was top notch. Very easy to pay out, too which took a minor stressor out of my mind that remained from a show that makes you forget.
