"Disorientation may be the ideal way to liberate an audience. In his bold vision of Macbeth, director Stephen Brown-Fried uses surprise to help viewers see the play anew. Northern Stage's production is not merely a modern-dress spin on a classic but a novel way to experience its emotional depth."  
- Alex Brown, Seven Days

"The show is a bullet-train ride, "full of sound and fury" to be sure, signifying much. The pervasive anxiety in this production is modern in the extreme as we face terrorism at home and abroad."
- Susan B. Apel, Daily UV

"Northern Stage’s slick and fast-paced production, directed by Stephen Brown-Fried, takes the action to a war-torn today, the characters dressed in army fatigues on a stage that morphs from battleground to castle kitchen. Without changing the language, but cutting a bit, the original Shakespeare worked seamlessly — unnervingly so."
- The Barre Montpelier Times Argus

"Macbeth has opened at Northern Stage. If you have no idea what to expect--and you don't--the set by Bill Clarke will not offer comfort. From the moment you take your seat, it is clear that you are not in Scotland, but rather, in some chilly, unidentified, apocalyptic miasma. You don't need to wait for the witches to say it to know that 'something wicked this way comes.'"
- Susan B. Apel, Daily UV
