''Kumonosu Jō'' (''Spiderweb Castle''), distributed with the English title ''Throne of Blood'', is [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s version of ''[[Macbeth (Theatre)|Macbeth]]''. Kurosawa fuses [[Shakespeare]]'s plot with elements from Noh theater, and sets the story at an unspecified time and place in [[Jidai Geki|Sengoku-era Japan]]. The [[No Man of Woman Born|Macduff]] subplot is left out, leading to a different, but more thematic end for the Macbeth figure.
 
Has recently been adapted as a play for the Ashland Shakespeare Festival.
Line 12:
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Washizu.
* [[Heir Club for Men]]: Washizu is perfectly happy to have Miki's son as his heir, until Lady Asaji reveals she is pregnant.
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Washizu, possibly even more than [[Macbeth (Theatre)|Macbeth]].
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Lord Tsuzuki.
* [[I Have Come Too Far]]
