I actually thought about that: should I--and the cast--try to do the whole thing in Scottish dialect? But it seemed like a stretch: for one thing, the dialect is hard to understand, and to add that on top of Shakespearean language seemed a lot to ask of an audience. But perhaps more significantly, we weren't really doing the play in Scotland per se: the costumes certainly weren't Scottish, for instance. And nothing in the look or feel of the show (flags, insignia, mannerisms) were deliberately Scottish. So I/we thought that doing a dialect would be superfluous, and possibly a distraction. We are in "Scotland" by name, but it could actually be anywhere.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418615304566544884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-82518728984783995522007-10-31T13:23:00.000-07:002007-10-31T13:23:00.000-07:00Hey Decorabilia: Appreciate the kind words about ...Hey Decorabilia: Appreciate the kind words about my performance as MACBETH.
