It really works?

I've gotten awfully jaded about post-apocalyptic versions of Elizabethan and Jacobean tragedies. I've seen several. The last one was a Macbeth. The entire cast was strong except for the Thane of Cawdor himself, which was bad enough in itself, and the sets and techno-acoutrements were really close to being too much. The phantom dagger, for instance, appeared on three TV monitors above Macbeth's head during the soliloquy, revolving constantly in shimmering red light. It sort of worked and sort of didn't.
