Speaking of Penn and Teller (see below), it looks like Teller will be staging a radical modernization of Macbeth in New Jersey in late 2007.
The premise is that "Macbeth" is Shakespeare's supernatural horror story, and should be done as violently and amazingly as a modern supernatural horror movie. Aaron Posner, the director, and I have been talking about this for three years and this fall hit on this simple goal: to use Shakespeare's images and ideas to scare the living hell out of the audience.
