I like that part, since it at least gives them a fighting chance to understand what is going on (since even I have a hard time following spoken Shakespeare; an eight-year-old gets lost quickly).  The play was very well-performed.  I hadn&#8217;t seen Macbeth performed before so I can&#8217;t compare it to a like performance, but this acting company is excellent.  If you can&#8217;t make it to Macbeth before it ends in December, I can definitely recommend any other productions by this company &#8211; I&#8217;ve been to 3 or 4 now and have never been disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The boys and I went to see a production of Macbeth this past Sunday.
