The Singapore Repertory Theater is/was putting on Macbeth at Fort Canning Park here in Singapore. It's been since high school since I did anything Shakespeare related and needless to say, I haven't missed it a bit ;).
That said, I had some intel from others who went last week that you did not need to be a Shakespeare lover to enjoy the performance. So upon an invite from a co-worker, I gladly accepted. I picked up sandwiches and some fruit for dessert.
I didn't snap the best pictures, but here are a few. It was a really nice evening and the stage was at the bottom of a quite appropriately sloped hill. We spread out our blanket and enjoyed the show. I remembered a little bit about Macbeth, mainly the three witches/fates that came in and out of the story. It was a more modern take - there were pistols and tennis shoes. I could generally follow along. They did a great job working with the outdoor stage. I was curious as to how they would do it. I would definitely go back for another production in the park!

Too bright for on-stage, but it gives you an idea of what they were working with.
Macbeth's wife, she's going crazy here and can't wash the blood from her hands. Oh, and she's asleep.
A slightly crooked look at the three witches/fates. They had the best costumes. I wanna be one of them ;).
