Oh, that's a good point about the limitations of the Stalinist symbolism. Because, yeah, I usually feel the emotion of it more strongly--that Macbeth is a good guy who makes mistakes and ends up caught in this spiral of evil. But I didn't feel the tragedy of it here because he was never very sympathetic to begin with.
I loved how they were the servers at the banquet and in one vision they're holding knives behind their backs while in the next version, they're just servers. That part was great.
I know! So cool. And I love how they appeared throughout the play, like they were lurking in the background (observing? manipulating?) throughout. >:)
