Question

A theater director wants to stage a modern interpretation of shakespeare's macbeth, a play about a scottish nobleman scheme to gain political power. what would be an appropriate way to do this
A) Require that the actors speak with Scottish accents
B) Costume the actors in kilts from the 16th century
C) Set the play in a boarding school in new england
D) Set the play in the U.S. Congress

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Require that the actors speak with Scottish accents

Explanation:

In this way, the play will feel more authentic and real, allowing the audience to immerse in the story. It is suposed to be located in Scotland, so naturally the characters should speak with Scottish accent. As the director wants to stage a "modern interpretation", the actors should wear modern clothes; remember that noblility still exists in that country.

The play needs to be set in Scotland, not New England or the U.S. Congress, that wouldn't have a lot of sense. It is important that a play like this respects logic, things need to be linked in a logical way so the story can easily flow.
