Shakespeare's future, at least one take of it

Im not really sure how I feel about this.


The translation sucks, by the way-Macbeth's wife is supposed to be saying "we won't fail if your dumb ass doesn't wuss out" giving us some insight on Macbeth's character flaws of indecision and non-ambition. "We won't" just glosses over the whole thing-what, will Mega-Man come in and save the day if he chokes? She seems so sure of herself, but she really isn't which is why she goes crazy later. She should have saved the intrigues for those more suited for them.

I know it is supposed to drum up interest, but with the attention span of kids being so short as it is, you get one shot. You may as well make it count right off instead of giving them the 'lite' version and then trying to have them come around again later. Maybe if this were used with young children, say 7-10. Easy to read for them, interesting ideas....and a passing familiarity with the story for later down the road. Using it for teenagers that can actually read the texts as is, and annotated up the yang in Norton's or whatever, is just lazy.

Maybe we could get Frank Miller to do some of them-that would be interesting.....
