A Tartan Macbeth

Macbeth and Banquo appeared in kilts, old kharki battledress, and unbadged caps. Still, it didn't seem to matters as the witches - three sets of them - were living in three parked caravans. Lady McBeth, you ask? Svelte. Looked like the Roumanian dictator's wife. And poor old Duncan walked into a potting shed, there to be done to death. The settings, the costumes - both were a distraction for this member of the audience. The drama had to fight its way out.
An opera to listen to.

I put a comment such as this one on the Glyndebourne message board. So far, there has been no subsequent one about the production.

Derek, the world waits for your comment about P et M.
