There are strange taboos in all walks of life that are unclear and unclear.
This is especially true of troupes that specialize in "Shakespeare's Plays".
For example, during the performance of Macbeth, they could not call him by his first name, but had to use the title of "King of Scotland" as a pronoun.
If these three notes are spoken outside the stage, then...
Ghost light
Ghost Light
An unruly troupe, after a long journey, reached the remote "Riverside Theatre".
Here, they will "join forces" to bring a Macbeth performance to possible seasonal visitors.
The troupe is not very skilled, but it is quite exquisite.
In addition to the taboo of "Macbeth", they also believe in the "ghost light" saying -
When the stage is idle, a lamp must be kept bright, otherwise the actors will face the disaster of blood and light.
And when it comes to actors, the relationships of these ragtag people are even more complicated and bloody.
The "Old King" and "The Old Witch" are played by an elderly couple from England, and Shakespeare's play is like square dancing to them;
The field manager and the "little witch" are a pair of young lovers with no hobbies other than dog food;
Dragon Suit A and Dragon Suit B are a pair of deep cabinets that are eager for "fencing" but are ashamed to speak;
With such unreliable members, the director and assistant had to be ready to take over at any time.
Alexander and Liz, who seem to be in a mysterious relationship, are the only financial owners of the troupe.
In return, they were able to play Macbeth and the Queen respectively.
However, Alexander, who is a theater lover, could not act at all.
The whole troupe is just for money, to accompany him to the family...
This has led to the male number two Thomas, who plays "Banko", who has been eager to find an opportunity to replace him.
Healthy competition would have been understandable.
However, our Thomas classmate not only wants to replace the role on the stage, but even the position of husband in reality, he also does not refuse...
On the night of checking into the theater, he and the hostess Liz hid on the stage for a private meeting, breaking almost all the taboos of the troupe in one breath.
The two did not notice at all that the "ghost light" behind them had long been quietly extinguished...
The next day, the troupe threw itself into the intense rehearsals.
At this time, the theater's caretaker sisters were late.
The crowd had just taken a good look, and a sweet girl named Juliet (Danielle Campbell) came uninvited.
In fact, she is a backpacker hiking.
I came here to apply for a yoga teacher at the resort, but unfortunately the yoga studio closed down a few years ago.
However, the men present were fascinated by her.
Simply invite Juliet to stay and make a cameo appearance as the second witch in the play.
The girl was also generous and gladly accepted the invitation of the troupe.
But on the other hand, Alexander had a little accident.
The pouring choreography just hit his head, and he looked delirious and unable to perform for a short time.
Although the director suspects that Thomas is making the bad, he has no choice but to arrange for him to take the lead role.
Strangely enough, Thomas and Liz did have sufficient motivation and intention, but they did not really hurt Alexander.
Instead, the two fell into a nightmare of insoluble solutions after the incident.
Liz could always see her hands covered in blood, and it was difficult to restore her original appearance no matter how she rinsed them.
Thomas was repeatedly tormented by infinite illusions.
Sometimes, The Liz around him will suddenly turn into a monster;
Sometimes, Juliet would appear in front of him drunk and misty-eyed;
But more often than not, it was 3 witches who instigated him to be the real "Macbeth"...
The next day Alexander was completely healthy.
What's more, his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he has completely entered the role.
Thomas was tormented by illusions and lost his starring position close at hand.
Inevitably, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more perverted he became, and he couldn't help but think about killing Alexander.
However, as he waved the oar, Alexander in front of him inexplicably changed into his own form.
In the end, Thomas not only did not kill anyone, but became a laughingstock for a while...
The state of the "dog man and woman" who have calculated the organs is getting worse and worse, but Alexander, who has a big heart, is getting more and more successful.
The nonsense farce continued until the eve of the premiere.
The caretaker brings great news to the troupe – all tickets are sold out and the Riverside Theatre will be packed for the first time ever.
The chicken flew and the dog jumped, and "Macbeth" slowly opened the curtain.
One of Shakespeare's "Four Tragedies", the story is not complicated.
It is nothing more than a self-interested Macbeth, who intensifies at the suggestion of the three witches and murders his cousin, colleague, and bodyguard.
Although he succeeded in usurping the throne and becoming the king of Scotland, he could not escape the fate of rebellion and street beheading.
Thomas's assassination of "General Banko" by "Macbeth" is one of the climaxes of the play.
His "death performance" on the stage is exquisite, but offstage, dragon suit A and dragon suit B, who play the killer, simply miss the time on stage.
In other words, Thomas was really killed by something ...
The death of the evil "queen" is the second climax of the plot.
Not surprisingly, her character, Liz, also drank the real poison on stage...
After the two "martyrdom", the wonderful performance continued.
Although the director and assistants have doubts, they can't bear to interrupt the troupe's rare "extraordinary play".
Until three abominable-looking witches took to the stage...
Yes, after the "ghost light" is extinguished, Juliet and the caretaker sisters who appear out of thin air are the "drama witches" of the Eight Classics.
It doesn't matter who Plays Macbeth thomas or Alexander, a perfect Shakespeare play is what they're after.
It was too late for the crowd to discover the truth, and the witch locked in the warehouse and could not move.
The theater outside is completely reduced to the world of "ghost light".
Regardless of the actors on stage;
Or the audience, all of them are just ghosts entertaining themselves...
After the performance, Thomas and Liz took the stage after the witch.
Their ambitions drew a witch curse, but they got what they wanted in the curse.
Such a tragic and happy fate is really like Shakespeare's possession
