Description Elsie and Norm are a northern couple who fancy a bit of culture, but find Macbeth a bit 'flowery'. So Norm (a regular contributor to the Pigeon Fancier's Gazette) rewrites the story to perform in their living room for their friends. The two of them play all the parts themselves, except Banquo and Fleance who are played by stuffed pandas.
