 "The most illuminating and audacious interpretation of this class play by Shakespeare to be seen in a long time."
KANSAI TIME OUT, 1995.
This production marked the first of many
versions of Macbeth for Zen Zen Zo over the next eight years. Drawing on the feudal themes of traditional
Japan and Akira Kurosawa’s famous film version, this production again crossed
cultures and languages featuring actors from 6 different countries, and a
chorus of Japanese and Western witches/narrators/translators.
