Macbeth is the latest movie by Geoffrey "Romper Stomper" Wright. As you would guess, it's a modern-day adaption of Shakespear's play, set in the ganglands of Melbourne.
I think I'm swayed enough to go see this, if only to see some of the kids struggle with the dialogue.

Hrn, not really a fan of Mcbeth, but I do loves me some Willy S, and I'm always interested in who can and can't pull off adaptations. I reckon Wright would manage it pretty well.
Theres also a production of Anthony and Cleopatra playin in the UK at the moment with Patrick Stewart.

The best version of Macbeth I've ever seen
-- and the best piece of live performance, for that matter --
barely got through the first sixteen lines of text.
also-- I'm very tempted to see Stacey Keach as King Lear in my town.

You could just get me ripped and I'll be your girlfriend for the night.

Sweet! I've been reading a lot about both (Macbeth + Princess Di/tranny/blood play) and I'm as keen as mustard.

Macbeth is probably my favourite Shakespeare play, hence I am not going to see this film.

I finally saw a preview for this the other day.
It looks horrible.
I'm sorry for bringing it up.

I saw them do it again, recently
it's still brilliant.
their version of Frankenstein is even better.

Sounds interesting.
Who were the company that put it on and where did they do it?
