Carl Heap returns to the National with another child-friendly adaptation of Shakespeare, this time slimming down the Scottish play to just over an hour and rendering it suitable for kids. (Note the daytime, school-group timing of the shows.)
Now, I don't want to come over like somebody's grandfather, but what the hell is wrong with kids these days? Eh? Heap's adaptations have been praised to the skies but in my day a ninety minute magical murder thriller with witches, ghosts and sword fighting was a romp. If the little blighters can't sit still for more than an hour for one of the greatest plays in the English language, we should just send them straight to the workhouse. Neigh!
