British Theatre Adds Trigger Warning to Shakespeare’s Macbeth

[Sans-Culotte]

If you didn’t get a chance to see Macbeth before woke moderns took over theater, it’s too late now. Nothing in theater or opera is set in the actual original time periods any longer.

[xp38]

Oh that happened ages ago. I never saw it but this very play Macbeth was set to a Mexican setting along with Sombreros etc back in the 60s or 70s.

[Sans-Culotte]

It used to be original to do it that way. Now it is the norm. It would be daring and original these days to do it in ancient Scotland.

[P.O.E.]

“Fair is foul, and foul is fair”

Macbeth, Act I, Scene 1

[Faith Presses On]

And yet, TV.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Theater of the Absurd Fops.

[Jimmy Valentine]

To the producer, “The Devil damn thee. black thou. cream faced loon.”

[SunkenCiv]

"This production includes extreme scenes of violence, including violence against children, suicide, and the use of blood, firearms and knives. It also contains flashing lights, vaping and the smoking of real cigarettes."

They forgot "Spoiler Alert". Thanks MarvinStinson. I wonder what they'll do next time someone screens Bambi or Old Yeller.

“The Almeida Theatre in London includes this “content warning”: “This production includes extreme scenes of violence, including violence against children, suicide, and the use of blood, firearms and knives. It also contains flashing lights, vaping and the smoking of real cigarettes.”

These sure aren’t the Brits who stood alone in the early days of WW2 are they?

Trigger warnings on Shakespeare? Good Lord!
