Of the stage performance Frank Rich wrote in The New York Times (24 January 1981) ‘I don’t know what this actor is up to in ''Macbeth,'' and I doubt that he does, either. In the early scenes, he is so shifty-eyed and bonkers that one expects him to be arrested for suspicion of murder before he actually commits one’.
