    Abstract

    Foul Whisperings, Strange Matters brings Shakespeare's world renowned and extraordinarily influential play Macbeth into a virtual worlds environment. This is an appropriate, timely use of pop culture as an adaptive bridge between classic texts and new media technology. The poetic use of metaphor , image and symbol that permeate Shakespeare' s language is brought to 3D life using the online world as a discursive design space where visitors experience the motivations and emotional journey of character , and explore and make personal sense of the universal themes of Shakespeare.
