"McDormand, Frances"
Sort by:
Macbeth
2016
Barry Kraft's dramaturgy and Carpenter's ability to educe audience participation and high comedy in this scene proved an unforgettable counterpoint to the escalating devastation that dominated the rest of the production. The transition from the forest where Macbeth and Banquo heard their fate to the setting at Duncan's court included infernal red lighting, fog that surfaced first on the scrim and then moved seamlessly onto the carpet onstage, and bagpipe music. With eerie music composed by Dan Moses Schreier, images of the characters and silhouettes with gold fiery crowns frightened Macbeth and the audience.

Naturalism, Determinism and Fate in Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth
2022
The 2021 film, The Tragedy of Macbeth, marks Joel Coen's first solo project after several decades of collaboration with his brother Ethan. A final section discusses the unusually strong emphasis placed on the role of the nobleman Ross in Coen's version and evaluates the particular significance of this for the film's naturalist attributes. Even at this juncture, Abby remains under a misapprehension, believing that she is shooting her (in fact already-dead) husband, since her antagonist is at that moment hidden behind a door. Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton) gets away with the murder of Big Dave Brewster (James Gandolfini) only for his wife Doris, played by Frances McDormand in another parodic femme fatale role, to be jailed for the crime.
