With audacity and great wit, Billy Morrissette directs this comic adaptation of "Macbeth," set at a fast-food drive-through. Joe McBeth (James LeGros), frustrated by his failure to be promoted by his restaurateur boss, Norm Duncan (James Rebhorn), falls victim to blind ambition and the goading of his wife (Maura Tierney). All will not end well, as any English literature student knows. "Infectious - the puns, in-jokes and referential asides will keep Shakespeare buffs busy and the rest of the audience entertained." - "The Washington Post."
