I purchased 3 copies of NO FEAR SHAKESPEARE EDITION MACBETH, which has the play in plain English directly across from the original text. It is very well done. My problem now is too decide whether or not to use the original text or some sort of plain English. I can already feel Clockwork Orange is settling in to my psyche with this new project. Kubrick used the distinct language from the novel. I think Macbeth is Shakespeare’s most modern play. Some of the language actually appears direct, bare bone, from the street today. I’m hedging on using the real text, but may have to paraphrase in certain situations. I’m still stewing on it.
