Macbeth Web Crawl, 11/8

This video clip, originally from Rupert Goold's 2007 production of Macbeth for the Chichester Festival, features veteran stage actor Patrick Stewart performing the famous "Tomorrow and tomorrow" scene as Macbeth. I liked this clip because it is obvious from the costumes and props that the production is set during contemporary times. The dim lighting establishes the tone of the scene by creating a gloomy atmosphere. I always enjoy watching an adaptation of Shakespeare that challenges the audience to view the material in a different light. It is the reason why Shakespeare has endured as the greatest writer of the English language.
