MacBeth play

The play today was amazing. I loved it, I liked the costumes it looked like the real clothes they whore back then. Also the actors and actresses were very good. I liked the when the witches came out it was cool and the caldron was pretty cool too I likedhow the three ghost popped in and out if it and how the actors got into it. I thought the performance was great. I was really upset at how the high school behaved through the play. That was very embarresing for the school and rude to the guests. But other then that I thought the play was good.

hamlet

I loved the Ken Branagh version of hamlet. I liked the scene that Hamlet did the soliloqy, because it was right after his mother got married. It made the speech more believable because his father just died two months ago and his mother moved on too fast. So I think after the wedding wasa a good time for the speech. In the original play it shows how the characters would say the words, and in the movie I think it would be harder to act it out. When horatio, and the other two guys saw the ghost, I liked how they ran away and held their weapons up to themselves. In the play were reading Horatio was scared when he saw the ghost and in the movie you could deffinatly see how scared he was. I would have to ask the director why he made Hamlet older, I was thinking he would be a little younger.
