Hats off also to our Rep, the Black Rep, for taking on Shakespeare and Macbeth. But. Now. Listen. There’s just one thing.
It’s kind of a small town, and a smaller theater scene, and I don’t miss anything that plays at the Grandel, so you know I have to hold my shirt when I see our old faithfuls up there decked out outlandish and spouting Shakey-speak. I ain’t saying we shouldn’t stretch, and I ain’t saying black folks can’t do the classics. I’m just saying I have to hold my shirt when I see our old faithfuls up there decked out outlandish and spouting Shakey-speak. That’s all.
