Description
Macbeth An Introduction – Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, King Duncan, and the three witches (“Fair is foul, and foul is fair”) are featured in this episode of “The Shakespeare Series,” which provides an introduction to six of the Bard’s works through the performances of a talented English company. Brief narrative bridges connect the performances of key scenes, forming a compact and dramatic introduction to the play. Structured to preserve the continuity and drama of each play, these introductions offer the first-time reader an opportunity to grasp the main themes and threads of action. Produced by Seabourne Enterprises, Ltd. In addition to the witches’ incantations in the opening scene, which set the mood for the entire play, memorable quotations include Lady Macbeth’s famous line “Out, damned spot! Out, I say!” and Macbeth’s “Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day.”
