...contentedly with his wife, three children, and a collection of dogs and cats, and turns out some of the most wry and bitter writing of this wry and bitter time. Friedrich Duerrenmatt is best known for his unsettling play The Visit, in which a vengeful old lady manipulates the greed of a whole town to make its respectable citizens collaborate in the ritual murder of her former lover.

Throne of Blood, a resetting of Macbeth among the clanking thanes and brutish politics of 16th century Japan, is a visual descent into the hell of greed and superstition, into the gibbering darkness of the primitive mind. It is a nerve-shattering spectacle of physical and metaphysical violence, quite the most brilliant and original attempt ever made to put Shakespeare in pictures...
