Answer: d. Welles's macbeth is set in haiti, and shakespeare's version is set in scotland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federal Theatre Project's 1936 New York production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth by Orson Welles was deemed the Voodoo Macbeth. Welles adapted and directed the production, changed the setting from Scotland to a fictional Caribbean island that alluded to Haiti in the 19th century, and hired a completely Black cast.
