Macbethketball: The 2008 NBA Playoff Preview

Deadspin found this 4/17/2008 on fivetooltool.blogspot.com [flag]

Recently, I took the Shooter Wife to see Patrick Stewart (yes, Star trek's Captain Jean-Luc Picard -- shut up, he's actually a fantastic Shakespearean actor) in Macbeth, which is playing on Broadway as a straight drama. It was freaking awesome. The show has gotten great reviews, and Macbeth was always one of my favorites in high school and college. Hamlet's OK and all, but for sheer blood ... [link]
