Saw a Japanese production of Macbeth a couple of years ago, hugh cast all in traditional Samurai costume, was amazing, I'd say the play I enjoyed the most recently was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by the Natioinal Theatre/Frantic Assembly, physical theatre with really clever use of tech.

Macbeth as a play conducted in Samurai garb?

I’ve seen the Kurosawa version of Macbeth set in the warring states period (“Throne of Blood”) which is probably the best version of the play ever filmed, but to see it in the flesh must have been fantastic.

Got tickets to see Susan Hill's: The Woman in Black at the end of the month at the playhouse in town.

I'm looking forward to this, I've seen it once before in London west end and read the book before and I really enjoyed them both.
