MacBeth

Harriet Walter, one of the greatest actors of her generation, takes us with her on an all-encompassing search for the reality behind the enigma that is Lady Macbeth, and on the way draws us into a sparkling and illuminating dissection of the actor's craft and the art of the play. Shakespeare's work is important in shaping our language and character. The enduring popularity and success of Shakespearean productions in theatre and on film is a truly international and cross-cultural phenomenon. The aim of the Actors on Shakespeare series is to provide a unique and accessible contemporary commentary to each of the plays via top-class actors who have performed in them.
