I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve read Macbeth. I’ve watched every adaptation I was able to find. (For context I was doing an extract of the play for a recital so I needed to completely absorb this play and everything in and around it and I loved every minet of it! It was so juicy and researching was truly delight. The character Lady Macbeth is such a complex, powerful and ambitious woman, her descent into madness throughout the play is so astounding. The play was so rich I loved picking it apart and I’ll always hold the memories of my time with it close to my heart.

lady macbeth is a girlboss fr she didnt deserve an offscreen death. macbeth spending 90% of the play worrying about the future should be relatable to the kids, would recommend.
