Does anyone know somewhere showing a traditional production of Macbeth?

Google has failed me on this one.

Not the Globe in London anytime soon, unless you want it in Cantonese...

"macbeth tickets 2015"

turns up a few - but it's hard to tell which are "straight Shakespear"
and which are adaptations.

I tried that Google search before posting here. Great minds etc:-)

An amateur performance would be fine but would need to be local(ish) to me.

I had no idea that you were such a cultured person.
You always came across as being similar to myself. Rough, uncouth and
vulgar.

Why would that prevent Adam from being interested in Macbeth? Who do you think went to see the plays wot Shakespeare wrote in the first place? There's plenty in them to appeal to the rough, uncouth and vulgar in us all...

"And Pistol's cock is up!"

Henry V.

Yes, I did it for O Level English Lit. George Paxton - brilliant teacher
- spent the entire first lesson explaining the dodgy jokes (many are
less obvious in modern day English than that one).

Similar - but with big differences. I do not spend my time regassing
fridges - that is a task best left to the monkeys.

I left that trade 16 years ago Adam, please keep up.

Traditional and local suggests to me amateur is your best bet - and very
possibly a school play at that (if schools these days allow anyone other
than staff, vetted volunteers and parents/guardians to attend *and*
allow talk of witchcraft - which can be a "sensitive topic" for
multiculturalism).

If this is the result of the lad being involved in Shakespeare Week last
week might a second-best way to maintain his interest be a DVD? There's
a traditional BBC production - low budget "film of a play" production
from 1983 which I didn't like but might be better than nothing. Or if a
contemporary might work 'er indoors rated highly the production with
Patrick Stweart. Either or both may well be available on loan from your
public library. But do please be careful as I am told the BBC one at
least is available in the commonly used, unlawful, DIY way

Question is is she an obsessive handwasher or does she have two mates
she would want to bring along?

Well if all else fails you could always sit her down with a bag of

The RSC are touring at the moment but with the comedies rather than the
tragedies, and I've not seen them.

As opposed to the adaptations where the characters are all played by
lesbians, for example?

I was thinking the ones where they do it in contemporary english - or
even reboot the whole thing into a modern setting.

Other languages are fair enough, but it must be a bugger to keep the
iambic pentameter or whatever other style was used, going in say Cantonese!

But I expect a lezza version of Romeo and Juliet has been done by
someone somewhere.
