Description
Macbeth is Shakespeare’s shortest play but it is also one of his strongest. The power couple that is at the center of this play allow ambition to lead them down the path to murder and, eventually, insanity. Join Professor Kim Keeline as she examines the role of witchcraft in the play (and how King James influenced the play) and whether the Macbeths ever had children.

The play Macbeth is not just “sound and fury, signifying nothing” so come learn just what it does signify and why it continues to be an important play for our times.
