Okay, so maybe it's not quite Shakespeare...

For anyone who is not familiar with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), this is by the RSC (Reduced Shakespeare Company), and is possibly the funniest version of Macbeth one could ever find.
For those who are familiar with the play, the original company performance is probably one of the best versions to watch.
Copy and paste the following into the address box dealy, and watch the video.

Never has a Shakespearian play been so skewered. And skewering can be fun.

I love how they state the fact in a hushed manner that "Macbeth" is cursed, poking fun at the play further. The kicking of the stuffed decapitated head served for a coup de grace.
