To tide you over, here are 15 things you probably didn't know about one of the Bard's most famous tragedies. Let's see how many of these you remember from school. TAKE THE ULTIMATE MACBETH QUIZ HERE https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 1/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth (Images: Rex & All Star) 1. The Queen in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs uncanny resemblance to Lady Macbeth is no coincidence. Walt Disney purposely emulated Lady Macbeth's on screen persona and was even quoted as envisioning the Evil Queen as “a mixture of Lady Macbeth and The Big Bad Wolf”. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 2/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 2. Yes, Macbeth was loosely based on a real person, but Shakespeare took inspiration from a number of other sources to pen Macbeth as well. Raphael Holinshed's Holinshed Chronicles, which featured detailed accounts of Scottish history and mythology became a primary source. Macbeth also incorporated Reginald Scot’s Discovery of Witchcraft and King James I’s Daemonologie, which as you can probably guess from the name, dealt with the ner https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 3/19 10/7/2020 p y g 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth details of magic witchcraft. 3. Michael Fassbender will be the fourth X-Men actor to play the role of Macbeth when the big budget adaptation opens in cinemas next year. Following Sir Ian McKellen in 1979, Patrick Stewart in a TV movie in 2007 and James McAvoy on stage in 2013. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 4/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 4. Although Macbeth features 5 acts, 21 scenes and 17,121 words in total, it is in fact one of Shakespeare's shortest plays and is in turn almost half the length of Hamlet. It's often thought that the character of Hecate was later added in partly due to the plays short length. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 5/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 5. One of the play’s most famous quotes “Something wicked this way comes” became the title of a fantasy book by Ray Bradbury, and was later adapted into a live action Disney lm in the 1983. It’s also the title of various songs by TLC, Souxsie and the Banshee’s and 2006 Eurovision winners Lordi to name a few. We can't imagine just how similar any of those sound however. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 6/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 6. Although the three witches are referred to as “The Weird Sisters” throughout, Shakespeare meant anything but “strange”. Weird, taken from the Anglo-Saxon word “wyrd” means “fate” or “destiny”, referring to the sisters ability to tell the future. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 7/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 7. Both the novels Moby Dick by Herman Melville and Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr Ripley are both inspired by Macbeth. Ahab's subversion of the world's natural order in Moby Dick along with Dickey Greenleaf's ong and the rising body count at the hands of Ripley in the latter are both direct references to the play. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 8/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 8. Widely known as simply The Scottish Play due to being considered bad luck, those appearing in stage versions of Macbeth...sorry... The Scottish Play, would be required to perform a ritual to prevent anything bad happening on stage. Although there are many dierent versions of the ritual, one of the most common is to run around the theatre building, turn around three times, spit, and then ask permission to re-enter. A simplied version consists of https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 9/19 10/7/2020 p 15 Things You (Probably)p Didn't Know About Macbeth walking three times in a circle anti-clockwise, using a curse word and then spitting. Thoroughly confusing stu indeed, which begs the question - which version is the correct one? And if there is only one correct version, all are other versions null and void from banishing bad luck? Mind boggling. 9. The Simpsons episode "The Regina Monologues" sees the family travel to London, only to run into Sir Ian McKellen outside a theatre about to perform Macbeth. But not until https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 10/19 10/7/2020 15 Things Youp (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth after spotting Tony Blair and J.K Rowling, because of course, London really is that small. McKellen warns Homer against saying Macbeth, only to fail and to be splashed by a car and repeatedly struck by lightning. 10. Although there have been a number of lm adaptations of Macbeth, it is only Roman Polanski’s 1971 edition that came under re for being too violent. A scene in which Macbeth murders King Duncan was even more gruesome for the https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 11/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth lm, despite not appearing in Shakespeare's version of the play in the same way. Both the Polanski and Orson Welles 1947 versions of Macbeth ended up as box oce bombs, with the latter failing to recuperate its budget. Okay so we're beginning to see why the play might be cursed. 11. French actress Sarah Bernhardt posed as Lady Macbeth in the Gower Statue of Shakespeare located in Stratford- Upon-Avon. With her hand rmly placed above her wrist representing tragedy, the statue stands with Hamlet https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 12/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth representing philosophy, Henry V for history, and Sir John Falsta for comedy. Bernhardt also went on to appear as Lady Macbeth in a French production of the play in 1899. 12. Written between 1603 and 1607 it was one of, if not the rst Shakespeare play to be written during Stuart's reign. The reigning monarch at the time, James I allegedly had a fascination with witches and made his position on crucifying them publicly known (in essence: he agreed to it). https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 13/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 13. Perhaps the most bizarre adaptation of the play is the Billy Morrissette directed vehicle Scotland, PA. Taken out of its historic Scottish background, the narrative is placed within a 1970s fast food restaurant. Macbeth - or "Mac" as he's known, works at the burger stand with his wife Pat. Coaxing him into killing his boss Norm, and stealing the safe money in order to achieve bigger and better things, the lm premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to mixed https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 14/19 10/7/2020 p 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth reviews. Scotland, PA'"' starred James Le Gros and E.Rs Maura Tierney, while also featuring Christopher Walken as Lieutenant McDu. 14. Although the true nature of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were somewhat stretched, the character of Banquo remained similar to his historical counterpart, which also lifted from Holinshed Chronicles. Banquo was also a descendant of King James I, further tying Shakespeare's play with the nations monarch at the time. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 15/19 10/7/2020 15 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Macbeth 15. In 1948, Orson Welles directed an all-black production called Voodoo Macbeth. It was picketed throughout rehearsals as Harlem Communists tried to claim that Welles was casting black actors for a comic purpose. One protestor even tried to slash Welles' face with a razor. Ultimately, anger subsided and the play was a huge success. You can watch a clip here. https://www.shortlist.com/news/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-macbeth 16/19.

  • Shakespeare in America Performance, Scholarship, and Teaching
    SHAKESPEARE IN AMERICA PERFORMANCE, SCHOLARSHIP, AND TEACHING Michael MULLIN Univcrsity of lllinois Shakcspeare. One namc with instant recognition in our world today, Shakespeare may be as close as we can come to a cultural universal in this multi-cthnic, polyglot, global village. My thesis for today is a simple one: If one is to study and teach English or American literature, one must know Shakespeare because Shakespeare has been and continues to be cen­ tral to Engtish-language culture and education in North America. First Jet us review sorne facts, which I have sct down in the handouts. The breadth and depth of Shakespearean activity in America is simply staggering. l. Performance Theatre More than 38 Shakespeare festivals playing during the summer months bring live Shakespeare to audiences easily numbering 1 million annually. Throughout the year Broadway and many community and university thea­ tres continue to find Shakespeare a boxoffice bonanza. Television The BBC Shakespeare on Television 1980-87 drew audiences estimatcd at 3-5% of the American viewing audience, or something likc 10 million people for an average broadcast. Commercial television and film makers continue to invest in new Shakespeare productions, thc most recent being the acclaimed Henry V starring Kenneth Branagh. 49 2. Scholarship Publications Shakespeare Quarterly, Shakespeare Studies, and The Shakespeare Newsletter -to name only the three best known of severa! American publi­ cations- have paid circulations of 2,000 to 3,500. Each year two dozen or more books on various aspects of Shakespeare and Shakespeare criticism are published in the United States. Professional societies The Shakespeare Association of America draws 500 scholars to its annual meetings; its membership includes twice that number.

  • Nine Night at the Trafalgar Studios
    7 September 2018 FULL CASTING ANNOUNCED FOR THE NATIONAL THEATRE’S PRODUCTION OF NINE NIGHT AT THE TRAFALGAR STUDIOS NINE NIGHT by Natasha Gordon Trafalgar Studios 1 December 2018 – 9 February 2019, Press night 6 December The National Theatre have today announced the full cast for Nine Night, Natasha Gordon’s critically acclaimed play which will transfer from the National Theatre to the Trafalgar Studios on 1 December 2018 (press night 6 December) in a co-production with Trafalgar Theatre Productions. Natasha Gordon will take the role of Lorraine in her debut play, for which she has recently been nominated for the Best Writer Award in The Stage newspaper’s ‘Debut Awards’. She is joined by Oliver Alvin-Wilson (Robert), Michelle Greenidge (Trudy), also nominated in the Stage Awards for Best West End Debut, Hattie Ladbury (Sophie), Rebekah Murrell (Anita) and Cecilia Noble (Aunt Maggie) who return to their celebrated NT roles, and Karl Collins (Uncle Vince) who completes the West End cast. Directed by Roy Alexander Weise (The Mountaintop), Nine Night is a touching and exuberantly funny exploration of the rituals of family. Gloria is gravely sick. When her time comes, the celebration begins; the traditional Jamaican Nine Night Wake. But for Gloria’s children and grandchildren, marking her death with a party that lasts over a week is a test. Nine rum-fuelled nights of music, food, storytelling and laughter – and an endless parade of mourners. The production is designed by Rajha Shakiry, with lighting design by Paule Constable, sound design by George Dennis, movement direction by Shelley Maxwell, company voice work and dialect coaching by Hazel Holder, and the Resident Director is Jade Lewis.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After she’s born him thirteen children! When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti)—whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. This is the last straw. Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.
