"HERE'S A KNOCKING INDEED!": MACBETH AND THE HARROWING OF HELL.
- Authors
Schreyer, Kurt
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the stage noises in plays of William Shakespeare. Particular focus is offered for the sound effects in "Macbeth" and "The Harrowing of Hell." It analyzes these two plays to assert how past sound materials from pre-Reformation theatre are brought onto the present staging to create ambivalence and require double hearing in the audience to expose the inadequacy of Jacobean political theology and mock the religious opponents of London theatres.
- Subjects
