Great acting. I think having children play the witches is just wrong though. Esp. considering they're just normal girls & not hermaphroditic terrors. The weak, pseudo-Brechtianisms also don't work. They draw attention to the fact that it's a play but to no end. They come off as insincere, they make the play feel insincere. Which is such a shame considering the text is of such (much needed) moral depth. It often comes off as a The Conjuring-style movie, but I suppose that is the "Macbeth for our day." Still worth the watch, let the voices ring out.
