Shakespeare on the Sound Presents “How Many Children Had Lady MacBeth and Other Puzzles of “The Scottish Play”
Join us on Wednesday, May 28, at 7 pm for a preview of Shakespeare on the Sound’s 2025 production of MacBeth. The program will take place in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library.
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?
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, as well.
