Reviews The Denver Post by John Moore 3 ½ Stars (out of four)
“Dirty and daring, intense and intimate, Listen Productions' cowboy-themed "Macbeth" is Shakespeare for a new generation. As lawless as the frontier territory it mines, this is Shakespeare for those unbeholden to dusty old rules of verse or form. For those who want to feel something real in a theater, from their spines down to their spurs…”
“You just don't often see the Bard performed to this level of quality in this intimate of a setting.”
The Spotlight by David Marlowe
“What is being billed by Listen Productions as a gun-slinging “Macbeth” over at Buntport Theatre is, in fact, the best of the productions of The Scottish Play that this reviewer has seen on stage…”
“Producer Mitch Dickman and Listen Productions have a rock ‘em sock ‘em winner here!”
Colorado Drama by Bob Bows
“When an adaptation of a Shakespearean tragedy solves issues that have plagued classical presentations of the play, it's a cause for celebration; so, it's "Belly up to the bar, boys!" for Listen Productions' and director Geoff Kent's Deadwood inspired version of the Scottish play…”
Colorado Backstage by Holly Bartges
“With Listen Productions first production of a stage play, Shakespeare will never again be the same… this is one production that does not want to be missed. If you love Shakespeare, Cowboy Macbeth will turn you upside down with enthralled glued-to-the-stage excitement. If you’ve avoided Shakespeare with a passion, you’ll discover the brilliant integrity of this perceptive playwright, and wonder why someone didn’t think about this before; always the way with great ideas.
“In spite of the fact Listen Productions may have its hands full with feature films, hopefully this stage production won’t be their last… Reservations for this production don’t want to waste thinking time. Grab the calendar and the phone now! This is one, no matter what, not to be missed production. A play you will not see, but a gripping stunning experience of Macbeth embodies body, mind and soul.”
