I would so be there if I didn't live in MN (and loathe I'll for it's damn toll roads!) Even if I hated Shakespeare, I'd still go see it just to piss the prudes off. Nudit AND high culture!?

I can see the scene of Lady Macbeth reading the letter and getting all hot and bothered by it, but I find the strip-club thing a little odd. Meh, I'd still see it if I were in the area.

Are you...superstitious? But seriously, it certainly isn't the most family friendly work anyway. It always baffles me how people can get so offended by the depiction of sex and nudity in films or plays, while the violence doesn't seem to offend as much or at all. The Scottish Play?

Especially musicals. (They don't ONLY perform The Bard there. They also do Sondheim and stuff, too.) We'll be there in March, but after the Scottish Play has closed.

I once had a highschool english class that was watching the 70s film of romeo and juliet. I had explicit directions to skip the nude scene. I used to substitute teach.

Witches being strippers is an interesting twist on the idea of witches cavorting naked in their witchy rites while they do witchy stuff involving suckling devils and rudeness. As an aside I once saw the story of Genesis as a stage show. The three actors played multiple roles but were all naked for the first half of the show. It was very well done.

Some of the dialogue is truly barbaric, "Grease thats sweaten from the murderers gibbet" literally means the liquified fat from a hanged corpse that has trickled through rents in the skin caused by rot. Grim! Also i'm surprised given that she seems a bit of a looney that the whole witchcraft angle doesn't bother her. Personally Macbeth is my favourite of Shakespeares plays, and this seems like an interesting take on it. I always like seeing shakespeare done well in a contemporary setting, new looks at old plays, etc. Interesting that she doesn’t object at all to the murderous and continuous violence in Macbeth.
