MEXICAN WRESTLING MACBETH - Every Saturday Night in June and
July, it is a party at the Zoo Studios Luchadore Style as The Chicago Mammals
present MEXICAN WRESTLING MACBETH!
What happens when Mexico’s favorite lady luchadores have to
fight it out over the coveted role of Lady Macbeth!!! Mayhem, Mystery, and
Aztec Mummies will rise from beyond the grave!
Señor Director (played by Company Member Dennis Frymire) has
secured the funds to produce his very first Mexican Shakespearean Cinema Extravaganza.
But in order to keep the cameras rolling, his movie’s producers insist that he
cast the film using only Mexico’s favorite superstar luchadores. The femme
fatale known as La Diabla Azul (played by Company Member Gabe Garza) will stop
at nothing in order to defeat her competition and become Mexico’s First and
Only Lady Macbeth! Come see art imitate life imitate art as La Diabla Azul
becomes the incarnation of Lady Macbeth both on screen and in the haunted
catacombs of the Aztec mummy’s lair!

Mexican Wrestling Macbeth is a wonderfully creative, funny romp of a time. It's a completely fun way to spend your Saturday evening. I gotta say the lip synch adds so much humor to this play. A most interesting deconstruction of Shakespeare, for sure. Go Mammals...
Mexican Wrestling Macbeth is a funny, creative romp of a play... a wonderful way to spend your Saturday evening. I got more laughs out of lip synching and some male>female, female>male drag action in this play. A great Shakespeare send up. Go Mammals...
Steve, Thanks for the feedback!
