When the battle is over, ambition and we see this with both Macbeth and Macbeth and his friend Banquo come across the Lady Macbeth. They are tempted by the idea that witches who offer them three predictions: that Macbeth Macbeth will become king - Macbeth is not sure will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, what to do but his wife is ruthless in getting what and that Banquo's descendants will become kings. she wants - she views her husband as a coward and appears ready to do anything. Banquo laughs at the prophecies but Macbeth is excited, especially as soon after their meeting with the The Supernatural witches Macbeth is made Thane of Cawdor by King The idea that there are mysterious forces Duncan, in return for his bravery in the battle. He writes controlling what is happening. The very first to his wife, Lady Macbeth, who is as excited as he is. A characters we meet are the three witches, and messenger tells Lady Macbeth that King Duncan is on their prophecies are what drives the story forward. his way to their castle and she invokes evil spirits to In Shakespeare's time belief in witchcraft was very strong and many so-called witches were burnt at help her slay him. Macbeth is talked into killing Duncan by his wife and stabs him to death. No one is quite sure the stake. Audiences would have taken these ideas seriously and felt that Macbeth was who committed this murder and no one feels safe, but Macbeth is crowned king. somehow possessed. Now that Macbeth is king he knows the second Reality and Appearance prediction from the witches has come true, but he starts The contrast between what is real and the appearance of something is also used by to fear the third prediction (that Banquo's descendants will also be kings). Macbeth therefore decides to kill Shakespeare. The classic dagger scene, when Macbeth is not sure if he can trust his eyes, is only Banquo and his son, but the plan goes wrong - Banquo is killed but his son escapes. Macbeth then thinks he is one of many references to this theme. For going mad because he sees Banquo's ghost and instance, he sees Banquo's ghost at the banquet receives more predictions from the witches. He starts to and Lady Macbeth imagines blood on her hands. become ruthless and kills the family of Macduff, an important lord. Macbeth still thinks he is safe but one by Loyalty and Guilt one the witches' prophecies come true. Lady Macbeth Loyalty and guilt are also strong themes in Macbeth. Duncan clearly values loyalty - he has cannot stop thinking about Duncan, becomes deranged and dies. A large army marches on Macbeth's castle the first Thane of Cawdor executed and rewards Macbeth by making him the new Thane. and Macbeth is killed by Macduff. Shakespeare cleverly uses loyalty as a dramatic The Witches device as well - Duncan is in the middle of talking introduce the play about 'absolute trust' when Macbeth walks in - we and control the know he's already thought about killing Duncan, mysterious forces of but for the moment he talks about 'the loyalty I the world. They owe' and his 'duties' to Duncan. Macbeth also predict the future and shows his guilt - he is unsure before the murder seem to put Macbeth and regrets it immediately after. Lady Macbeth is under their spell. the opposite - she seems to show no guilt at the time and even talks about how 'a little water' cleans away the blood. Little Angel Theatre 3 Little Angel Theatre Macbeth with Puppets – Director’s Interview The first decision faced by Peter Glanville, the script They explored the many different types of editor and director, when we decided to put on a puppets that could be used for the characters and production of a Shakespeare play was which play and considered how the puppets would hold the why? This was followed by how to justify turning it into Shakespearian language. We also needed to a production with puppets and which characters would consider how the puppets would retain energy in be represented with puppets? scenes with long sections of dialogue. Having explored this issue it became apparent that focusing on delivering dialogue with puppets The decision was made that all the characters in doesn’t really work. So the team began working Macbeth (the chosen play) would be represented by with the idea of recording the text and playing it puppets, and that instead of making puppets of people as an external voice, a device that frees up the the characters would be represented by a variety of puppets and allows for a more visual narrative.

  • PRODUCTION NOTES BBC FILMS and HBO FILMS
    PRODUCTION NOTES BBC FILMS and HBO FILMS PRESENT THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP 92 minutes SHORT SYNOPSIS Coined by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the term “special relationship” has come to represent the exceptionally close political, diplomatic, cultural and historical relations between Great Britain and the United States. Some transatlantic alliances have been more potent and more personal than others, among them Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt; John F. Kennedy and Harold Macmillan; Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan; and Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. At least for a time. THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP follows Blair’s journey from political understudy waiting in the wings of the world arena to accomplished prime minister standing confidently in the spotlight of center stage. It is a story about relationships, between two powerful men, two powerful couples, and husbands and wives. The time is 1996, and the Blairs and the Clintons are a unique foursome – each of them an extremely bright lawyer – with a kinship forged in shared ideology and genuine affection. When world events and personal watersheds shake the very foundation of their relationship, the men and their wives must come to terms with the ephemeral nature of power and, oftentimes, friendship. As the film begins, there are many similarities between Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, both center-left politicians driven by personal ambition, yet equally driven by a belief they can change the world and do a great deal of good. What starts as the formality of friendship between two national figures evolves into a genuine connection, a meeting of kindred spirits, of ideological soul mates in their domestic agendas.
