This one has a special place in my heart because my husband acted in it in a high school theater group and wore a plaid skirt ("not a kilt they are not the same!") and that was the year our town has a massive parade and his group was in it so my husband walked a few miles past screaming hordes of people in a plaid skirt at the tender age of 16 and I had a crush on him then and I have crush on him now ;). Also one of the most watchable plays if you're gonna sit through an amateur performance, due to the sheer amount of melodrama, death, and blood. Can't go wrong if you got good material.

i don’t know what it is about macbeth specifically that draws me in. i think it’s the futility and hopelessness that the story is absolutely marinated in. yes, the language is striking of course, mr shakespeare may have had a couple drops of talent, but really it’s the story and the characters that draw me in. has there ever been a more tragic power couple? and god, the hallucinations! the slow descent into madness! the tragedy and the gore! there’s nothing like it
