Summary: Crucial Element Missing
Review: I am a teacher of Literature and English at Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. Yes, I teach Shakespeare to my deaf and hard of hearing high school students. This DVD sounds terrific...except IT IS NOT CLOSE CAPTIONED! and it's an educational DVD! Almost everything is now close captioned, so why not an educational DVD? Very disappointing. I would certainly purchase and recommend to other teachers and deaf and hard of hearing adults if it was....CLOSE CAPTIONED .

Summary: Really helpful for understanding
Review: I am studing this play ina class for school and I bought this DVD. It has a ton of stuff in it that makes this play really easy to understand. The interactive text is way cool. You can look up words on the DVD while you are watching it. I liked that it was modern too. The acting is really good. I totally understood it

Summary: Very useful
Review: I found this to be an excellent condensed version of the play. I've never seen a DVD like this. It has a wonderful feature that allows you to jump to the text of the scene you are watching to look up words and phrases and back again. The video commentary is very insightful and useful. The DVD ROM extras are well thought out and organized. This thing is like a 21st century "Cliff's notes". Great for anyone studying this play in a literature class.

Summary: Understanding Macbeth
Review: I recently purchased this DVD. As a new teacher, I found this to be an exciting, dynamic and engaging teaching tool. The performances helped my students understand the text and the interactive menus and DVD-ROM extras made my life easy...lesson plans, quizzes...a literary terms glossary! The commentary was also very helpful. I highly recommend this to both students and teachers alike.

Summary: Educational DVD for Everyone!
Review: This DVD is so cool! I was having a hard time understanding Macbeth so I went online to see if I could get some help. Someone on a chat line told me about this DVD and I am so glad. I learned so much and it even had great extras for teaching (which I shared with my teacher). My older sister said she wished she had something like this to help her understand Macbeth. Hope they make more of these!
