like only 1/4 of the vid was actually action. O.o the rest was just waiting. bleh. but at least i think it would be cool to stage macbeth at a middle school :] i wouldve liked to see more footage though :p
Your kids are very lucky to have you as a director. I just had the rare pleasure of seeing Nakamura Kanzaburo XVIII perform in Mirror Of Osaka at the Sibiu International Theater Festival, and I immediately thought of MacBeth. Did Kabuki make it to London in Shakespeare's time?
I saw a real Kabuki version of the 'Scottish Play' about 20 years ago. The actor playing MacBeth came down from a collapsing scaffolding (12ft or so high) and did a forward roll whilst holding his katana to his chest. Very impressive.
That's neither Kabuki style nor the way Samurai would fight. Don't believe the movies/anime. It's not a lot of rushing forward striking once or twice and retreating.
