SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

US TV comedy/drama. The 77th and final episode of Leverage, in which a group of thieves and conmen band together to fight injustice. This episode revolves around the theft of a hard drive containing details of illegal transactions that led to the 2007-08 financial crash. Part of the heist depends on a production of Macbeth staged in the theatre adjacent to the building that is being robbed. We see the "unsex me" speech from Act 1 Scene 5 performed on stage twice, first poorly at a matinee by an incompetent understudy and then in the evening performance by one of the thieves, Sophie Deveraux (Gina Bellman), to great audience acclaim.
