Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth: A Love Story
Is Shakespeare's darkest tragedy a cautionary tale about ambition? a bit of Jacobean mythmaking? Or is it the portrait of a deeply committed marriage gone catastrophically wrong?
With apologies for all the appalling accents . . . .
Performance Clip: Macbeth with Orson Welles, Fay Bainter, and the Mercury Acting Co. Mercury Text Records. From the Internet Archive (archive.org)
Additional Music: "The Rout of Moy" perf. Albannach. 2006. From the Internet Archive (archive.org)
