Finding Macbeth

Asked Jan 18, 2009, 09:25 PM — 7 Answers
This is going to make me sound lazy but I have too much to read as is so...
I was just wondering if anyone knows any good websites or links to a place where I can watch theater performances or more specifically Macbeth aka that scottish play. I want to watch the theater performances because it's way faster than reading the book and more accurate than the movies (unless you know a version that is fairly spot on, tha'd be cool too). I tried youtube but I could'nt find the whole play.

Thanks!

Yea, but I wanted to at least feel like I'm doing something if you know what I mean. I've read those too, but in case they left anything out I thought it'd be good to watch it.

Most likely, if you read Macbeth in the original, you won't find things that have been left out. If you watch performances of it, there can be many interpretations as far as what's happening, depending on directing and staging. For me, it would be best to read it.

Thanks!

I ended up listening to an audio version of it that told all the stage directions and the setting and all that good stuff. I would have read it if I had the time, because I really loved listening to it and love most of Shakespeare's other plays; only problem is I've got 18 credit hours worth of reading and don't have the time for a class that I'm taking just because it's required by the school (don't get me wrong I like theater, but I'm a bio major).

Thanks!

Try this link. I found it very helpful. It's still requires you to do some reading but not as much as you would have to do if you had the book.
