Macbeth played by just one man , how is that going to work? , how will he play the three witches at the same time.
It works perfectly and the witches are , initially , played by some apt atmospheric music.
Playing all the roles brings an even more intense;deep;meaningful significance to the play , rather like how songs become more profound if done in an acoustic guitar and voice only format.
This way of portraying the play makes the impression of the utter rational failure of the bloody purpose from the very beginning more significant , therefore the tragedy is apparent from the very first action.
This review from The Herald grabs the appeal of this staging very well.
You can see a trailer of this sell out run which is going to Broadway is the video below:
The video review below also captures the experience even though the reviewer does let himself get carried away.
