Macbeth

In this episode artistic director Sam Bardwell and the actors invite you into their process for approaching and performing a Shakespeare play. For this episode on Macbeth the major characters that leapt off the page for the actors were the Weird Sisters, aka the three witches. The major theme that emerged was bullying. And the major tension we identified is something we like to call “binary explosion.” Listen in to hear how these characters, tensions, and themes play out as the actors perform and discuss major scenes from Macbeth.
