Macbeth, Shakespeare

Transferred to the chaos and bloody rivalry of a pseudo-post-colonial African setting, Stratford's production of Macbeth provided a engaging interpretation of the play.  It made very effective use of total blackouts at significant moments, most particularly during the murder of Banquo, only to have the banquet scene commenced when the lights come back up.  Perhaps it was playgoer's fatigue, but I found the lines a bit too rushed and the action too hectic.  Nevertheless, it provided a fitting ending to a spectacular series.
