2. Lady Macbeth - Monster or Princess?

Was Lady Macbeth a barren, ambitious, overbearing monster who goes mad from guilt?

Or was she a true royal princess, hailed first queen of Scots, who had to marry the man who murdered her husband?

If you think you know all about Macbeth then think again.

The real Macbeth comes back to life to help sort fact from the more familiar Shakespearean fiction.

Liam Brennan stars as Macbeth.

Fiona Watson

Molly Rorke
