New York Times
Enter “Macbeth.” The stunning retelling by the Polish company Teatr Biuro Podrózy.
Translating the language of Shakespeare into a series of exhilarating vignettes, “Macbeth” gets at the dark, haunting essence of the play saying hardly a word.

The Guardian
It’s one long and exhilarating blast of images wrapped around thundering music, licking flames and wafting smoke. It’s a production that shows this magnificent Polish company at its best, and a reminder that large-scale outdoor theatre really can be thoughtful, as well as an eyeful.

Scotsman
There is that visual imagery, mad, wild and beautiful. It confirms Teatr Biuro Podrozy’s status as one of those inimitable companies whose work, once seen, is never to be forgotten.

The Herald
Biuro Podróży’s Macbeth: Who Is That Bloodied Man? is bloody, bold, and resolute, and one of the most electrifying pieces of theatre you’ll ever see

The Independent
The excellent cast drains the compressed plot of every last drop of menace.

Stage
Focusing on texture rather than the text, their reinterpretation of the Scottish play is an operatic spectacle with moments of exquisite lyricism. Its exhilarating theatricality enhanced by Krzysztof Nowikow`s absorbing score is definitely worth any health and safety risk as it may well be a few years before you see anything like this ever again.

The List
Exploring darkness, violence and pessimism, this will live long in the memory.

Metro
Visual poetry in motion. Polish company Biuro Podrozy’s radical outdoor reworking of Macbeth ditches all but a handful of lines of Shakespeare’s text, replacing it with an exhilarating display of large-scale physical theatre. The strength of Szkotak’s use of visual poetry almost renders Shakespeare’s words surplus to requirements.

Evening News
A disturbingly powerful adaptation. Shakespeare’s bloody tale of ambition and dictatorship is given an industrial gothic setting by the Polish theatre company known for its striking physical pieces.

The New York Sun
A piece of theater so spectacular it could make its effect anywhere.

Irish Examiner
An excellent, evocative drama.

Irish Times
The production manages to indicate, if not enunciate, the intense moral complexity of Shakespeare`s play.

Information
There’s no charming the audience! This Polish company takes spectators into a world of primal theatre. When, in the wailing of the Elsinore wind, the torches light the castle walls – unlike anywhere else in the State of Denmark –revenge dominates. In the fire’s smoke the senses and instincts of the spectators burn. The jewels on Macbeth`s crown turn out to be machine gun cartridges sending shivers down spectators’ spines. What has this Polish company done to the bloodied Shakespeare play? They have brought back its original brutality.

Polityka
It pictures the human tragedy so precisely and on so many levels.
