Day 18.026: The Scottish Play

With another winter storm coming in tomorrow, Exile #2 and I were thankful for a calm dry night to drive just over the Piscataqua into New Hampshire to see the filmed stage rendition of Macbeth starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo. 


We were also thankful that the nearly full (albeit small) cinema screening audience was well behaved throughout the main feature having been rather talkative during the preamble. 

The play itself was wonderfully staged and acted and had us both noticing things that had never caught our eyes or ears before despite both having studied it in the distant past. It was also gloriously Scottish throughout - which is as obviously appropriate as it is rare.
