Any reason for PA?


I understand why it's Scotland, because that's where Shakespeare's MacBeth takes place, but is there any significance behind the PA?

reply

Maybe they just wanted to use an American setting, and Scotland, Pennsylvania is a real town north of Chambersburg and east of Gettysburg in Franklin County.

reply

Not to be picky but, Scotland is North and West of Gettysburg, PA.

Well Scotland PA is a real place first of all. Second is that PA is dark and foggy. Lastly, no to be a racist but the King of England at the time was Scottish but there was real hatred toward those people at the time. The original play has many subtitle jabs at this. And if your going to make fun of people for beind drunk idiots what better place from PA.

Hmmm....first, I have to question if you have some type of vision deficiency. I happen to know that PA is not dark and foggy. Well, I apologize, last night it was dark in PA. And a few weeks ago there was a slight fog for an hour or two.
And maybe you are just unsure of what "racist" means. See, stating an historically verifiable fact is well,absolutely, positively, in not a single way racist. So that just makes no sense.
A subtitle is when words are wirtten at the bottom of the screen in a different language than the original. But I'm sorry...you probably can't see very well, so that's an understandable mistake.

And as far as being racist...well, there's something called Prejudice, which is similar to racist. And your statement is very very LAME and prejudiced.

which makes me think that maybe your suffer from FAS - fetal alcohol syndrome. If there are many drunk iditots in PA, then maybe you consumed some alcohol in utero...which would explain your....ahem...post.

Oh, as far as the itchy balls, does everyone in Scranton not practce regular personal hygiene habits?

in theater history they do not refer to the play as macbeth, it is called "the scottosh PLAY", so PA is a joke on the word play
