The Old Globe arrests the dead butcher Macbeth and his fiend-like queen
This was worse than poor. It is the WORST BY FAR. I left at the first interval. I would have left earlier but stayed out of respect for the actors. The costumes and period were awful. he witches scene was ridiculous to say the least and destroyed any chance of setting up the scene for what happened. This is the scene that plants the seed of murder in Macbeth's mind and the director managed to mangle the words as well as the concept. Macbeth return home to tell Lady Macbeth of what transpired was changed into a raunchy sex scene that totally destroyed any chance of showing the power of Lady Macbeth and her resolve against Macbeth conscience and fears. The worst was still to come. That gatekeeper scene trying to have sex with a maid was disgusting in terms of acting and setting. gyrating and pointing with an empty bottle is awful at best and totally disgusting. There were school children attending I believe and I hate to think what impression this stupid awful production left on them. The Globe should be ashamed of allowing this production and should stop it immediately.— July 10, 2016 1:23 p.m.
