"Macbeth" - Dench/McKellen -1979, Trevor Nunn, Dir.

At Inverness: Lady Macbeth reads of her husbands prophetic interlude with the "weird sisters". Upon his arrival she has already prepared herself to encourage his ambitions in every way that love and devotion are blind. Aside from being an unbelievably powerful performance, it can stand unmatched as a "Shakespearean Master Class"...verse speaking doesn't get any better than this.

Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theatre tradition ... that one does never speak the name ... of the scottish play.

Just costume choice. Think it's a good one though, creates a more calculating/sterile sort of look (almost surgeon like). Then, during the "sleepwalking scene", at the end, the headdress is loose and unkempt.
Think it works to help illustrate Lady M's unsound state of mind.
She started compact/sleek/sterile, and winds up disheveled/worn/unkempt/unsoun
d. Those design choices, along with Dench's storytelling genius, seem to make for a perfect telling of this tale.

I didn't really pay attention to the actors' names in the title and when Macbeth entered I was all like "OMG it's Rudolph Valentino reincarnated!" 0.o

Vem, Noite espessa, e veste a mortalha dos mais pardacentos vapores do inferno, que é para minha fina afiada faca não ver a ferida que faz, que é para o Céu não poder espiar através da coberta de escuridão a tempo de gritar "Pare, Pare"!

Glad it helped. Agreed, verse speaking just doesn't get any better than this.
