Description Grades 9-12. Throne of Blood legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's landmark 1957 film, ingeniously transported Shakespeare's Macbeth to the distant and ritualized world of feudal Japan. Now, director Ping Chong works his theatrical magic in this first-ever stage adaptation of Kurosawa's masterpiece. Evocative of Noh theater, this production is vividly brought to life by the prestigious Oregon Shakespeare Festival's large company of classically-trained actors. A fascinating cross-cultural and interdisciplinary artistic experience, this is a must for students of film, theater, Shakespeare, and Asian culture. Includes a pre-show preparation workshop, a teacher study guide, and a post-performance discussion.
