For those of you in eastern Iowa: the Riverside Theatre Shakespeare Festival's production of Macbeth opens tonight at the Globesque theatre in Lower City Park. The director Mark Hunter's previous offerings have been a good night out indeed; this event receives the HogBlog Seal of Not Entirely Objective Approval, given that the tireless HogBlog correspondent was once in the employ of said Shakespeare Festival. As an extra bonus, Buckle Down Publishing Company has offered to make a matching donation for every ticket sold this weekend. Support your local theatre! If it is your local theatre, that is. If you're in New Zealand, you're entirely off the hook.

If you are in New Zealand, for another week or so you can still catch Circa Theatre's production of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, about which I know nothing whatsoever; but what do you have to lose?
