Selected Reviews:
British Theatre Guide review (4 stars): "This interpretation of Macbeth examines the text with a discernable [sic.] Asian feel. Like Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood, what is most interesting about this interpretation is the differences in the East and West sensibilities: what the Asian experience brings to Shakespeare."
"graceful and fluid... inspired"

BroadwayBaby review (3 stars):
"Through use of physicality and clever costume indications, Sato manages to create a mystical and atmospheric take on the Scottish play. Her voice, which is almost hypnotic in quality, manages to captivate the audience."
"Sato’s enunciation, at times, is a little hard to discern, especially during highly impassioned moments, making it difficult for people who are unfamiliar with the play to follow."
