Mexican Wrestling Macbeth
Chicago Mammals Theatre Company at
Zoo Studio
Chicago Tribune- Somewhat Recommended
"...First staged locally nearly a decade ago, Fisher's script requires that every last bit of dialogue be lip-synched (the voices are provided by three actors off-stage), giving the finished product the look of a badly dubbed film. It is among the show's wittier flourishes, as is the drag-necessitating casting of Liz Chase (tiny and petite) as the dweeby assistant film director, and Gabe Garza (so very not petite) as his scheming Lady M, clad in iridescent spandex and a beehive wig in the sight gag that keeps on giving."

"...The slapstick could be crisper in Warwick Johnson's rough-and-tumble staging for the Mammals. Still, the primary gag of Bob Fisher's script is a good one: all the dialogue is read by three offstage performers so that the whole thing looks like a poorly dubbed movie."
