"The Scottish Play" Goes to 11...

One of my regular movie/music stops notes the DVD release of a Japanese production of Macbeth. Only this Macbeth is set in the middle of the Japanese heavy metal music boom of the 1980s (with some parts set in 2206, for some reason I can't quite figure out). Some more info is here.

The writer wonders where this version of Macbeth was when he was undergoing forced exposure to it in the 9th grade. But for the fact that I underwent my exposure in the 11th grade, I have the same question, and I am seriously hoping Netflix adds this to their library.

No word on whether or not the drummer survived the show...
