Macbeth

Because he was really obsessed with witches, being the king in the middle of the Little Ice Age... And so if you are a playwright... what are you going to write? And so that's where Macbeth comes from.

whether that's in Richard II where all kinds of terrible things are reported or Macbeth or whatever, that idea is really fundamental.

one is one is Macbeth because when they're coming back so when Anne is and James are coming back the terrible storms and James blames this on witches so that's kind of part of the Macbeth with the witches

I literally went in front of the class, read out of the book. I don't know this by heart. It's a monologue from Macbeth.

Mott Pellow, Macbeth.

Life is but a walking shadow, A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and that is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I wanna make it back to the stage, I'm sick of singing and dancing. I don't wanna be some campy show skeleton, I wanna play Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear.

But when you stand in the presence of Hamlet or Macbeth, you know that you're standing in the presence of a much more profound mirror of what things are like.

Is life more like Much Ado About Nothing or more like Hamlet or Macbeth, huh?

What is life, Macbeth? Life is a walking shadow. A poor player that frets and struts his hour upon the stage and then has heard no more. A tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Here's Much Ado About Nothing and here's Macbeth and Hamlet.
