The Macbeths return!

Atenas, Costa Rica, October 31, 2024

is Jeff Burnett's (now Jesai Jayhmes) own idiosyncratic take on one of the most curious marital relationships in all of Shakespeare.

…dialogues rethought as split personality monologues ..sparse, black, dream-like sets and costumes...

...Knock-knock jokes...

Why can't we all have this much fun with Neil Simon scripts?

...he's such a vivid performer... the intellectual indulgences

are more than matched by his sharp visuals

...THE MACBETHS..

a physical and emotional confrontation!

He charges ever-deeply into Shakespeare's text.

and has mastered an extraordinary range of styles, from Greek Classics to Theater of the Absurd.

His crisp, clear solo works, often dripping with sharp oratory

and bleak imagery, have set a standard

for preparedness and technical excellence.
