We then talked about the essence of how this grand type of story could be effectively performed in a small wooden theater. We talked about the bond between the author, actors, and audience that exists in the theater. We also talked about the text of the prologue in which the chorus simply asks the audience to use their imaginations by requesting that they suspend disbelief.

Some of the divisions in the chapter 9 is ‘How to give feedback to actors about their work’ (127) and ‘how to sit in the rehearsal room’ (131). These divisions might make the readers feel rather over-detailed, but for a first director, it would be helpful when he/she encounters any trouble during the first few rehearsals. Also the chapter 10 and 11 discusses “how to divide up” rehearsal schedules by time and how to deliver the detailed table work “materials” that a director have prepared before the rehearsal (142). The researched given circumstances that happens before the play begins such as “back history facts and questions” should be well discussed with the crew and actors (143). These given informations that the director researched ahead of rehearsals should be read together with the actors and the production team, and they are encouraged to to the research works on their own perspective for a proper and deep understanding on the play. At this stage of the production, actors are more encouraged not to determine their characteristics until they have thoroughly investigate and deepen their understanding of their characters’ world (146).

The Role of the Supernatural in the Play Macbeth ‘Fair is foul and foul is fair’ such a well-known line from the play Macbeth, with such power behind the words.
