Drunk Macbeth, surf rock, and some ‘90s hip-hop

Toronto Event of the Week
Macbeth is some of Shakespeare’s best work and one of the greatest tragedies ever told -- so this weekend the Tranzac Club will host two performances of Macbeth, albeit with a slight twist: alcohol. In Drunk Macbeth, the lead character will be smashed, knocking back shots as the play goes on. You will be entertained, whether it’s by the acting and elaborate costumes (all Scottish tartans!), or just the really drunk guy on stage. Is this a link I see before me?
