Macbeth: Nothing is but What is Not
- Synopsis
- Educational series. One in a twelve-part series of films made by the Ontario Educational Communications Authority (now TV Ontario). The aim was to relate ‘Shakespeare’s timeless ideas and understanding of human motivations to contemporary society’. The press information from NBC Educational Enterprises records that ‘the film takes the position that Macbeth is a man who ‘lives in a world of fantasy. In terms of the psychiatric approach to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth which the film takes, the title also suggest that Macbeth is a man who has not yet found his identity’.
