My Misters birthday outing - to see Macbeth with David Morrisey at the Everyman in Liverpool.
A bit of a mixed bag, though generally good.
The set was wonderful (though they did have a ladder set into a wall - I am getting rather fed up of this devise - see Hamlet @ the Crucible and David Copperfield @ the Octagon)
The witches were suitably bizarre - David Morrisey had great presence, and his verse was good enough. There was some fabulous support - notably the Duncan/Gatekeeper/Doctor with remarkably long arms!
There werre plenty of memerable moments- the killing of the Macduffs will never be forgotten - but a lack of passion at the end was a bit dissapointing.
But overall, well worth the seeing - and a suitable farewell to the Everyman - next time we are at the theatre on Hope Street, it will be very different
