Range from comically abstract to gruesomely realistic
-
Are fun to perform and easy to maintain
"But [Macbeth's] lack of fear in the final fight (choreographed with surprising brutality by Westbrook) was what led to his downfall; he kicked Macduff’s knife casually over to him after getting in an early slash, telling Macduff overconfidently of his charm. . ."
-Dr. Peter Kirawn, The Bardathon
