Shakespeare on the Sound board member and Shakespeare teacher John Love
will talk about these and other Macbeth puzzles and show scenes from a
movie version of the play. He'll also address some questions about the play, like...
- Why would Shakespeare write a play about the murder of a Scottish king and perform it
before the newly-crowned Scottish king? - Why did Shakespeare wait 5 years after performing the play in front of King James to
perform it for the public? - Why do professional (and amateur) actors always refer to it as “The Scottish Play”?
- How did storms off the coast of Denmark lead to Shakespeare's writing the play?
- How is Macbeth completely different from the other “great” tragedies—Hamlet,
Othello, and King Lear? - Why is the part of Lady Macbeth the most coveted female role in all of Shakespeare?
- What piece of the play was written by someone else years after the death of
Shakespeare?
