Planned to go to bed early, then I turned on David Tennant’s Macbeth on Marquee TV. I’m going to have to watch it again using my headphones. The acting & visual design are phenomenal, but pale in comparison to the sound design.
Interesting article below about binaural sound technology for a 3D soundscape. It was impressive on its own, I’ll bet it’s better with headphones, but I can’t imagine the experience in the theater!
Anyway, it looks great, sounds great and the classics are interpreted anew and expertly. You can feel the madness, labor, and loss in each tormented, “tomorrow.” Far from “a tale told by an idiot,” it’s presented brilliantly and signifies everything.
The creators of Macbeth, the acclaimed new production of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, have released more information about the use of audience headphones for the production.
