Oh. I haven't seen it. This makes me want to. There's a recent Macbeth with Patrick Stewart I want to see too because I liked the Hamlet production he was in a couple years ago a lot.
btw, my daughter is in 7th grade and her English class has been immersed in Romeo and Juliet for a few weeks now. I think they've watched both the Zeffirelli and Leonardo DiCaprio movies. At home she's reading it in Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. I was happy to see she didn't need a lot of encouragement to open the book when I brought home a new printing of Lamb's Tales that has a skull with a gold tooth on the cover. She was asking about gold teeth so maybe this should be next on her classics list:
