I once again curse school curricula for ruining Shakespeare for a generation of kids. I really quite enjoyed reading this (whilst listening along). Sure I probably missed 80% of the deeper themes or wordplay or whatever but Shakespeare is a classic for a reason.

Je crois que c'est l'une des pièces favorite de Shakespeare.
La tension,les risques et tout franchement, j'ai adoré.

Malgré j'aime mieux les pièces de Tchekhov du fait que je suis moins familière avec que ceux de Shakespeare mais Macbeth reste le meilleur que j'ai lu de Shakespeare,pour l'instant.

Interesting... 
A couple things threw me off - they spelled Donalbain's name "DonalDbain"... I don't know why I found it so distracting. 
There were a few things in the text that, when studying it, have generally been interpreted a certain way, but the illustrations convey a different emotion. I'll have to look into it a bit deeper. At the very least, it could be interesting to examine how the various texts/translations communicate different things.
