A journey back in time...to Africa?

Many EDSS students went to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival Theatre today, that is, Wednesday October the 7th, to view a re-telling of Macbeth. Macbeth is a Scottish thane who is visited by witches and decides to snatch the throne of Scotland for himself. This rendition of the play was based towards the end of the Second World War, in Africa. Rifles, cameras, army fatigues, the play was marvelous. I was very impressed with the acting ability and how the director chose to portray the characters. The transitions were incredible, my favorite was the transition from Banquo's murder to the banquet scene. The gun flash turning into a camera flash was beautiful. The ending, I found, was just magnificent. The soldier dropping from the ceiling and the jeep bursting onto the stage was incredible, I loved it! The ghost rising from the floor, and the cauldron were smoothly done and made me feel jealous. I wish we had a cauldron like that. All in all, an incredible production, one I most definitely recommend.
