THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH

An all-star cast brings vocal clarity, naturalism, and intimacy to the voices of the desperately paranoid newly crowned Scottish king Macbeth and his ill-fated brother-in-arms, Banquo. Narrators Scott Brick and Dion Graham are the lead players in this crisp stage reading of one of Shakespeare's premiere works. "Double, double, toil and trouble." "Something wicked this way comes." The language of MACBETH is so much part of our everyday world that it is a treat to hear the lines in context. The three witches, portrayed with menacing glee by Carol Monda, Paula Parker, and Maggi-Meg Reed, set the stage, delivering deadly prophecies, while Simon Vance as Macduff provides the bloody conclusion. All scene titles (Act 1, Scene 1) and stage directions (Exit) are read aloud, offering even more clarity. B.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
