This is a detailed 2004 account of the theatre history of Shakespeares Macbeth from 1607 to the present day. The shortest of the tragedies; Macbeth is compressed; complex and ambiguous and has been variously interpreted. The Introduction describes major productions and performers including David Garrick; Sarah Siddons; Henry Irving; Ellen Terry and Laurence Olivier. Sarah Siddons; the greatest Lady Macbeth; portrayed her as a ruthlessly ambitious woman who dominated her husband. Irving; on the other hand; saw Macbeth as a bloody-minded villain; unlike his wife; played by Ellen Terry; who was gentle and devoted. Ian McKellen and Judi Dench; in the most successful production of the last century; were united in their ambition and pursuit of evil. A detailed commentary alongside the New Cambridge Shakespeare text of the play describes how specific episodes and passages have been interpreted in the theatre.

Let your inner kid out and color the world bright and beautiful.By M E LutherMy new addiction is coloring books. helps me calm down. helps me relax. and for awhile just escape from life. My imagination is allowed to be as wild as I want. or as pretty or happy or sad. no matter my feeling. I can make the pages just mine. The best part is that with each new book. I find new ideas for colors. or textures. Easy to take with me when we camp. Glad I found these coloring books for adults and kid. Kids shouldnt have all the fun.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Never got it - yet charged for itBy CustomerNever received even after I told them.
