Macbeth 3.1


In this picture we have Daniel Eichner as Macbeth, and Kathleen Akerley as Lady Macbeth.

The reason that I choice this picture was because these two actors do not show tragedy and blood as the other pictures of Macbeth. Also, I found interesting this picture because the play called "Washington Shakespeare Company's Macbeth" was criticized  by many audiences who felt uncomfortable with the performance of Daniel Eichner who play naked in front of the audience. The director of the play defend him self by saying that he only wanted to show how real can look and try something different after reading the history of the Scottish people as Shakespeare read too. So, this is where he uses a different version and decides to put the two actors on stage as trees and then be converted as humands due to the witches.

We can find some symbols in this picture as their smile that reflects happiness and the way that each other looks can show their love and passion to each other.
