Macbeth does not cry at his wife's death. He knew it would happen, he says so "She should have died hereafter" means She would have die eventually not she should have died later. Also, "there would have been a time for such a word tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" is saying the news would have come tomorrow, or the next day, or the next. And believe it or not, you are not suited for every role of a show.
I find - as Macbeth is supposed to be a Scotsman, right??! - that speaking it with a Scottish accent gives it much more ring!!! Try it! :-) Rolling the "r"s , "ah"-ing the "ow"s, "eh"-ing the "ay"s, all in the Scottish sing-sang - I love it!!! Makes me feel very Macbeth-ish!!!
@HermioneNo1 When shakespeare wrote, he purposely mispronounced characters names from other countries, and never would have given the characters the accent of their original country. If he had wanted the characters to have a stereotyped accent of somone from another country he would have wrote it in. Besides, adding the accents makes iambic pantameter pointless because it destroys the feet, or number of syllables per line.
@0marqste Oh thanx for the lecture...;-) and surely you can also tell me who really wrote it all, right...?!;-)
I find speaking the "Tomorrow" soliloquy with a Scottish accent to be a) fun, b) not ruining iambic pentameter at all and c) my own personal adaptation and it's AS I LIKE IT! Now you start a seance and ask Willy Shaky (or whoever really wrote it) if he (or she???LOL!) minds! Then come back and lecture some more....;-)
interesting approach. Revealing, intimate and bitter with moments of subtle, utter sorrow. quite unique. I think the quick, snappy, matter-of-fact, sarcastic finish worked quite well.
The Roman Polanski Version and this one are absolutely the best ...

I saw him as Tamburlaine at the RSC when I was 16. It is still the single best performance I have ever seen an actor give.

This actor really understands just how intimate and conversational Shakespeare really is. Blew me away, totally!
