Macbeth
Sherry and I went to see Seattle Shakespeare’s version of Macbeth on Saturday night. We have been going to their shows for the last few years but this was the first of the “chamber” series we had seen. According the web site the “chamber” series try’s…
to adapt the plays to make them more intimate, urgent and available to contemporary audiences attuned to the quicker plotting of modern film and theatre.
Shakespeare “Lite” it was not. I didn’t find it that much different then the other plays we have seen of theirs. It was done “in the round” with a smaller cast then usual. This play had the most sword fighting we have seen yet. Sherry stuck me with the aisle seat so I had the pleasure of having the actors run past me in the dark with their swords.
