MacHommer (2.0/5)
Created and performed by Rick Miller
Playhouse, QPAC, Brisbane
28th January 2010
Nice idea to do Macbeth with Simpson’s characters, but the execution is dull. With the critical exception of Homer’s Macbeth the impersonations largely hold-up, as does the casting. Though too often Shakespeare’s language is sacrificed for impersonation. There are moments when Miller’s talent shines - the Act 1 reprise, Mr Burns/Duncan’s all-singing final number and the unconnected Bohemian Rhapsody by 25 world famous rock stars, but it’s a long wait for a good laugh.
