Macbeth at the Globe Theatre was a beautiful production that highlighted the distrustful, manipulative relationships within the show and allowed the comedic moments by the porter to highlight the horrors of what is happening in the show. The show also focused heavily on puppetry which helped the audience to envision the witches and Banquo’s ghost. This aided in enveloping the audience in these visions and the horror of them. The entire show is based on distrust and uneven relationships who are

between the truth and humankind, so he drew an illustration onto the dirt. In the drawing there was prisoner facing the wall, behind them a fire, and in between the fire and the prisoners, a catwalk for puppeteers. The prisoners couldn’t see what was behind them, only the shadows casted by the puppeteers, so the shadows was their truth, their reality.

The Allegory of the Cave Everyone has asked the same or similar questions at some point in their life: What is the point of life? What is it exactly and what does it have to offer me?

people walk (the ones responsible about them). These people are puppeteers, they are holding objects that can be used in everyday life as well as human and animal shaped pups. The prisoners can only see the shadow of the object reflected in the wall due to the light of the fire. These shadows are unclear images since the prisoners cant turn their heads to see the original image.

I’d have to say that the deaf theater video changed the way I see the theater. At first glance I thought, “How will this appeal to hearing people,” but they took care of it with the actors who signed and sang/spoke.

see is the wall of the cave in front of them, although they are unable to see it behind the cinemas is a fire burning. Between these prisoners and the fire is a walkway that the puppeteers use when holding up the puppets that cast shadows on the wall of the cave in view of the prisoners.
