We're pretty sure that there are a few of you out there who've harbored sex fantasies about Patrick Stewart over the years. If you're one of those folks, may we strongly recommend the scary, showy, and thoroughly excellent production of Macbeth that stars Mr. Stewart and which will soon move from a sold-out run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (blocks from our house!) to Broadway. Stewart brings out sides of the title character that we'd never seen before -- including the dirty old man. At one point he even sneaks his hand somewhere between second and third base on Lady Macbeth (who, as played by Kate Fleetwood, is something of a knockout) and you're just kind of left going "Oh, yeah... this sure as shit ain't Star Trek." It's pretty much double plus awesome.
Macbeth ends at BAM on March 22, and runs at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre from March 28 - May 24.
