Haven't done Shakespeare in a theatre for over forty years. My memories came rushing back watching this refreshing new adaptation about Macbeth. Love listening to iambic pentameter. :~)

The careful and deliberate mismatch of genres seems to work rather well in the end. Although it may get a bit heavy for those less interested in centuries old theatre, those who love it will embrace it wholeheartedly.

This film is a tremendous example of the fluid nature of creativity as it applies to performance arts. There have been many adaptations of “Macbeth” set in modern times, and most are quite good, offering a testament to its universal staying power.

Rated: 5/5

Theater buffs and devotees of Shakespeare will embrace this small and delightful feature. Trust me when I say that his “Scottish Play” is no tragedy.

Writer and director Keith Boynton brings to fruition this creative vision in the best of ways. It is hearty and entertaining but also does well at paying reverence to Shakespeare’s legend.

The Scottish Play is one of those relatively small films you can’t help but feel connected with. It looks very, very good. Its leads are incredibly charismatic, and its main storyline is quite interesting.
