D – Shakespeare, Macbeth

Macbeth, otherwise known as the “Scottish Play” or “Mackers” (by the superstitious), has long been considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies. We will examine this “cursed” play through at least two video productions: the 2008 production featuring Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood, directed by Rupert Goold (adapted for video in 2010), and the 2001 Royal Shakespeare Company’s production featuring Anthony Sher and Harriet Walter, directed by Gregory Doran (adapted for video in 2003).

Glenn Stuart is a Professor of Theatre Emeritus at NEC, where he taught for 38 years, designed 125 theatre and dance productions, and was founding director of the Open Door Theatre. He holds an MA in Theatre from the State University of New York, Albany. For a list of his productions, see the full bio at LINEC.org.
