"Macbeth"

Went with a couple of friends to catch "Shakespeare in the Park", simply because the idea of watching a play in the park is too cool to resist. And what show better to enjoy in a park than "Macbeth"?

I am kidding.

I've not read Macbeth before, so I have no idea what I got myself into. It's been almost three months since I watched the show (it was sometime in May, can't remember when), and the only thing I can remember out of it was that my friend and I were enjoying sushi and drinking sparkling wine while watching some play which we "caught no balls". Oh yes, and that I remembered myself almost dozing off to sleep midway through the show.

Maybe I'm not "cultured" enough. I simply could not get any of the jokes which other people seem to be laughing at.

Firstly, we were at the disadvantage because we did not read the novel before this.

Secondly, the play did not help our understanding because the performers were reading out their lines in old English. ("Art thou shall not, thee shall do what art thou" --- you get the idea)

Thirdly, OH ENOUGH OF ADRIAN PANG ALREADY. It almost looked like we were stalking him. I could not fathom why he is appearing in almost all the shows I'm watching. Are there seriously no one else there who can act? SERIOUSLY?!

So, none of the above helped the situation and during the interval, my friend asked the best question of the day, "So... who is Macbeth ah?"

So now can you understand why we were dozing off and the only things we enjoyed out of this were our sushi and wine?

(EVEN THE PICTURE IS NOT HELPING!)
