Macbeth


So last night we went and saw the play Macbeth at the college. I was required to go for my English class, and Jeff is a good sport who will always accompany me to such events. I love plays (for the most part) and so it is always fun to get out and go see them, but sometimes they are torture for Jeff. This one I think he actually was doing ok! Except there was an old lady sitting next to him who farted through the whole first half of the show. I thought it was him because of all the attention he was giving it, but I think it really did end up being just her smell. (well maybe the combination of both of them, I dunno.) Anyways.. the play was pretty good I thought, for what it was. We just read the play Macbeth for class last week and then discussed it so it was really clear to me what was going on even though I couldn't really understand what was being said. Jeff on the other hand had no idea what was going on, so I got to narrate it for him the whole time, which was fun! (Probably annoying to those around us, but oh well;) ) I wish the play would have been set in it's original time frame and the accents more how I imagined them when I read the play instead of what they were. The play that we saw was placed during the Civil War, so people were speaking Shakespearian with southern accents, which is an awkward combo I think, just because it is so confusing!!! But, Macbeth did a really good job acting out his crazy character, I liked it.
