This is Macbeth
- Synopsis
- The feature-length DVD presents a TV-style interview with characters from the play, who remain in character as they discuss their experiences, motivations, concerns and fears with the fictional host, Ralph Holinshed. The interview is broken up by enacted scenes from the play itself, performed by professional Shakespearean actors in a black box theatre. After each scene, the characters are back in the studio and talk about what happened in the scene in terms of plot and thematics. The discussion offers insights into the characters of the play, and reveals some of the implications of the events as they happen. Medieval "commercial breaks" are included in the television discussion.
