Abstract

Nowadays Japanese adaptions of Shakespeare are common in Japan. They are performed notonly in Japan but also in foreign countries. The Japanese version of Macbeth by Mansai Nomuracombines elements of Japan’s Noh (tragic) and Kyogen (comic) traditions in a metatheatricalway. This adaption could successfully show both the tragic story of the Macbeths and the folly of humans allowing the audience to look at the drama with detachment characteristic of Kyogen.
