McDormand, whom I generally like, did the show live here at Berkeley Rep a few
years ago (with some joker from Game of Thrones). Reviews were mixed: Review:
Toil and trouble, and missed connections, in 'Macbeth' at Berkeley Repertory
Theatre. I'm not a fan of the play, generally (it suffers from some of the text
going missing over the years, apparently), and have managed to avoid the Coen
version.

Review: Toil and trouble, and missed connections, in 'Macbeth' at Berkel...
Lady Macbeth is such a larger-than-life theatrical figure that it's only
natural that audiences would like more ...

Clearly I strongly disagree with you on this version overall, though I do
agree that Francis McDermott, one of our most talented actresses, is
surprisingly less effective in her role as Lady Mac than most of the rest of
the cast is in theirs.

Re: MacBeth
I own multiple versions, some better, others worse. This latest version of
MacBeth feels ham-fisted, the sort of thing somebody who wanted to mock PBS
would point to as an example of the elite nonsense they subsidized back when I
was a kid (“oooh, it’s in black and white, so it must be artsy!”). There was
some decent acting, but there was also a lot of overacting. And to me the real
star of MacBeth is Lady MacBeth, and that star didn’t shine for me in this
version.
