macbeth
1984
William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, first performed in 1606, dramatizes the scourge of political
ambition. A trio of witches prophesizes that Macbeth, a Scottish general, will become King. Spurred on
by his wife, Lady Macbeth, he murders the King and takes the throne. Playing Lady Macbeth, who
ruthlessly manipulates her husband before descending into madness, meant getting to grips with
one of Shakespeare’s most powerful female characters.
