METAL MACBETH

メタルマクベス

Shakespeare X Kankuro KUDO X SHINKANSEN
Steel Rock Spectacle!

It is the first Shakespeare work by SHINKANSEN. “Macbeth” performed on heavy metal sounds was the birth of a new kind of “Macbeth”. Kankuro KUDO, the most sought-after and up-and-coming writer in Japan, has done the adaptation. With his contemporary sensibility, he has transformed the Shakespeare’s dialogue-rich masterpiece into a song-driven story.
