Her staging of the Scottish play opens with an arresting tableau. Lady Macbeth sits hunched over, her face hidden under a disheveled mane. As she rips out clumps of her hair, a portrait of Macbeth, her husband, starts spinning on a wall behind her â until an invisible knife seems to cut into the painting.
Itâs an ominous way to position Lady Macbeth, as a shadow addition to the three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will be king. When the trio appears shortly afterward to deliver their message, a giant ring materializes above the empty stage. In true âLord of the Ringsâ fashion, it then descends upon Macbeth (Noam Morgensztern), metaphorically anointing him even as recorded whispers of âmurderâ fill the ComĂ©die-Françaiseâs auditorium.
---
At the ComĂ©die-Française, Costaâs âMacbethâ edits the two dozen named characters down to only eight actors and leans heavily into religious symbolism. In âHamlet,â Jatahy goes so far as to keep Ophelia alive. Far from going mad, Ophelia climbs down from the stage and exits through the auditorium after declaring: âI died all these years. This year, I wonât die.â

Y'all ever open a book on a new subject, read a little bit, and have to put it back so you can process the way in which your mind was just expanded?

He's constantly on guard with everybody, constantly facing rejection from every direction, but there's only one safe place he can go to, and feel secure enough to rest.
