Maria is studying Macbeth for GCSE in Year 11 and so we booked tickets for a new production of the play some time ago. It's quite a trip over one day with 5 hours and a bit of driving to go with three hours of sitting to watch the performance but it was well worth it.
Stratford on Avon is such a beautiful place in itself with the canal and river, as well as the many places echoing Elizabethan times. We got parked easily and noted that motorhomes are welcome at reasonable prices which makes a return visit more likely.
The play was great to watch with a new interpretation of the Porter's scene by Stewart Lee being unveiled and being an up to date attack on targets familiar to fans of his comedy. The witches were real strengths and individual moments such as the murder of Macduff's family stood out.
