Alan Cumming is Macbeth...... and everyone else actually! Rarely have I seen a play that showcases talent as brilliantly as this. Alan Cumming was simply magnificent in this play, swapping from character to character skilfully using props, voices and mannerisms. This is a mesmerising show, Cumming emotionally and physically practically turns himself inside out! We were transfixed from the first... More

It is very, very, rare to capture a show that is nothing short of awesome - something that occurs on Broadway once every 25 years! This is one of them.

A few nights ago my adult son and I had the absolute privilege of seeing the Mike Nichol's directed Arthur Miller play Death of a Salesman with Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Willy Loman and Andrew Garfield as his son Biff - they were both outstanding. In fact the entire cast of this production should be congratulated for their super performances.... More
