Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

D'oh!

Here’s the wildest mashup we’ve seen in a while: MacBeth meets “The Simpsons.” In the aptly titled MacHomer, one-man star Rick Miller gives voice to more than 50 of the TV show’s animated characters while staying true to the Bard’s work — well, 85-percent true, anyway. The Toronto-based thespian interacts with video projections to spin the story of a nobleman’s ruthless rise to King of Scotland, which may play out more like a comedy than the bloody tragedy Shakespeare intended. Approach it as a wacky “Simpsons” Halloween show where anything can — and will — happen. “His pitch and pace and ‘mmm ... pizza’ are perfect,” says the New Zealand Herald. File this one under “too bizarre to miss.”
