Kilt Help

One thing you have yet to mention, Kaeden, is when your version of...the Scottish Play is being set. The wonderful thing about Shakespeare's plays is that one can set them virtually any time and any place.

Shakespeare Santa Cruz has done...

Hamlet in Kennedy Era White house

Titus Andronicus in a savage "Road Warrior" like future

Mac...The Scottish Play in Feudal Japan (Note to self put on "Throne of Blood" on Netflix queue)

Kilts might be very appropriate, the question remains...

...what kind?

Cheers

But the best version, INMHO, is Orson Welles' 1948 film version.

Jamie: according to my dad, you only need to use "the Scottish play" inside of a theatre.

I know but it's such a fun superstition that I thought I'd take it outside for a bit!

One to avoid is the Polanski version, though there are some pretty amusing things in it:

The "Is this a dagger I see before me?" speach had me rolling on the floor (Macbeth follows a cartoon dagger through the castle).

Lady Macbeth giving her final speach in a high stone tower, in Scotland, in the nude (I all could think of the entire time was "Jeepers she must be cold!)

Though I really disliked the film the end is very effective and creepy.

Thanks! And not exactly. I'm up for any and everything. :P
