I have heard that a few people are actually worried that they won't understand Macbeth when they go to see it in the Autumn/fall.
Can I make a suggestion to you all.That you read the play while listening to this BBC Radio 4 play version that David Tennant performed.... it will make you familiar with the story and what is actually going on.

I have always loved Shakespeare, but as a Dyslexic I struggle too... so I do my home work. I do it so that I can actually enjoy the live performances without much confusion.
Macbeth production photos from the Donmar Warehouse.
I am really looking forward to it.
I hope the recording helps.... or you will be pulling faces like Crowley... as it's one of the Gloomy ones..lol.
THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND, and Other Short Novels by William Hope Hodgson. (Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, 1946) Cover art by Hannes Bok. 3014 copy edition.
‘The House on the Borderland is unique in several ways. The narrative itself is a double-frame narrative: the editor of the volume is presenting a manuscript he found under mysterious circumstances, describing the account of two fishermen who themselves discovered a hand-written account of the cosmic haunting of a recluse’s remote home.
Additionally, the novel is one of the earliest examples of the departure of horror fiction from the Gothic style of supernatural, psychological hauntings, to more realist, science-fiction/cosmic horror themes. The recluse is, among other events, transported to a mysterious supra-universal plane populated by monsters and elder gods; and his house withstands assaults from legions of monsters as he travels across time and the solar system.
The book was very influential on H. P. Lovecraft, who himself was famous for the cosmic horror themes in his work. The concept of an uncaring, and even evil, universe that Lovecraft found so disturbing is front and center in this supremely strange novel.’
In Tintin and the Picaros, Tintin tells the Captain to be quiet and insists on playing a record that "he simply adores" to drown out their conversation while he reveals that the villa they’re staying at is bugged:
What record does he play? In the comic, it’s clearly Bianca Castafiore’s famous Jewel Song:
But what of the adaptations based on the comics? Tintin and the Picaros only has four adaptations: three radio plays (in German, Danish and Swedish), and the 1991 Nelvana TV show.
The TV show is the most similar to the comics, in that it also uses a record of Bianca Castafiore singing to drown out the sound of their conversation.
The German radio play (1984-1987), has Tintin play a rock song:
In the Swedish one (1970s-1980s), he puts on a mambo record (had to add as video because the audio file didn't work, sorry!):
The Danish one (1972-1983), despite being hard to hear, has him put on Dancing Queen by ABBA:
It’s clear the TV show was concerned with being accurate (and maybe didn’t want to choose a song that would age poorly or that people wouldn’t associate with Tintin), while both the German and Danish radio plays went for something that was popular at the time. The Swedish one is probably the most realistic of them all, because they would probably be more likely to find local music among the records at the villa.
Are any of these actually songs that Tintin likes? One can assume that he’s just putting on whatever is at hand, but it is interesting to see what each adaptation thought would be a likely choice for him to find in the villa he and his friends are prisoners in.
Als ich aufwuchs, war ich ein großer Fan von 'Die Drei ???'. Ich dachte "Crimebusters" sei das Ende der Buchreihe. Aber ich war überrascht, als ich erfuhr, dass die Serie in Deutschland eine Fortsetzung hat. Ich war sehr glücklich darüber, sodass ich Deutsch zu lernen begann, damit ich die Bücher lesen konnte. Das Hörspiel inspirierte mich und ich wollte eine Animation machen. Mein Favorit ist Peter und ich mochte seine Emotionen hier, also habe ich diese Szene animiert. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch allen. Die Drei ??? sollten eine TV Show sein! Entschuldigung, mein Deutsch ist nicht gut.
