Every time I see a new version of a play I've seen dozens of times I learn something new. In this one--Macbeth talking about being on a barren throne, and that Banquo will have the advantage of his sin, is casually pointing a sword at Lady Macbeth's womb. I don't know why I never thought about the fact that in those days when a couple didn't have children it was the woman's fault. And when Fleance runs from his father's murder, the witches take him up so he's not found by the murderers.
I still like the green screen Macbeth best as a film adaptation.
