Something Wicked This Way Comes

• Patrick Stewart plays Macbeth, directed by Rupert Goold in a touring production from the Chichester Festival Theater, playing at the Harvey Theater — Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York — through March 22, 2008
• "...a production that makes much of the motif of hunger....What makes this one a must-see is Mr. Stewart’s thrilling recognition that his character is as close kin to the fatally introspective Hamlet as he is to power-wielding men of ill will like Richard III."
