Except she meant to bathe in reeking wounds,
Or memorize another Golgotha,
We cannot tell—
But she is faint, her gash doth cry for help

From: (Anonymous)

Lol nona, thank you.

At least the hot bath has avoided the issue of gory locks, which I find so distressing to shake about.

From: (Anonymous)

Oh, those are so itchy and annoying. Coarse and rough and the blood gets errrrwhere.

From: (Anonymous)

DA

I hate gory locks. They're coarse and rough and irritating and the blood gets everywhere.

From: (Anonymous)

I think I am going to soothe myself by watching Christopher Ecclestone as Macbeth, now, and snigger at every mention of blood and gashes. I just wish the all-female “Shakespeare at the Donmar” series covered it.

Hot tea drinking game?

From: (Anonymous)

I am already disgruntled, as the witches are little girls in hoodie pyjamas with dolls, rather than strong ugly old women. Also, I think they’ve cut some of the gorier lines already.

From: (Anonymous)

But, I am relating to Ecclestone’s blood-smeared face.

From: (Anonymous)

Unsex me here!

Make thick my blood!
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
that no compunctious visitings of nature shake my fell purpose

Did Shakespeare know about periods? Is this all one big period joke?

From: (Anonymous)

Marketing idea for whoever fills the “Past Times” retail slot, now: Lady MacBeth tampons.

From: (Anonymous)

A Spanish fig for the imputation! Fie, foul creature! Clearly the Bard himself knew nawt about those fell harridans named Women and their terrible monthly Issuances!

Alas, then England was Colonised and from Edenic queer bliss fell.

From: (Anonymous)

On the one hand, I think given the way people lived it would be bizarre for him to be unaware. On the other hand, I could see it being something women were supposed to hide and you’d think he’d have some coarse jokes about it across the plays, like the various other coarse jokes and references to bodily functions.

But then, if this is a period reference, then he has stuck such things in. Perhaps there are other menstrual references elsewhere?

From: (Anonymous)

Tbh sounds like material for a doctoral dissertation right there...

From: (Anonymous)

Also, Lady MacBeth’s outraged “WHY DID YOU BRING THESE DAGGERS FROM THE PLACE?!” made me laugh in this version, her absolute horror that he has been so completely stupid

From: (Anonymous)

This is making me want to watch =D

“We are men, my liege.”
“Ey, in the catalogue ye go for men”

?????

From: (Anonymous)

“every moment of his being thrusts against my nearness of life”

Macbeth/Banquo?

From: (Anonymous)

Also, I hadn’t properly registered previously than, while Macbeth is going mad about scorpions in his mind, Lady Macbeth tries to reassure him that being dead is great and so Duncan is fine.
