Overview

Macbeth is a 1978 videotaped version of Trevor Nunn's Royal Shakespeare Company production of the play by William Shakespeare. Produced by Thames Television, it features Ian McKellen as Macbeth and Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth. The TV version was directed by Philip Casson. The original stage production was performed at The Other Place, the RSC's small studio theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. It had been performed in the round before small audiences, with a bare stage and simple costuming. The recording preserves this style: the actors perform on a circular set and with a mostly black background changes of setting are indicated only by lighting changes.

00:03:18 When shall we three meet again
00:08:10 Shall he dwindle, peak and pine:
00:12:52 But treasons capital, confess'd and proved
00:18:24 shall shine on all deservers.
00:24:25 And I feel now the future in the instant.
00:30:14 Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour
00:37:01 Come, let me clutch thee.
00:42:12 sore labour's bath
00:48:30 Sir
00:53:51 their daggers unmannerly breech'd with gore:
00:59:50 As upon thee, Macbeth
01:05:09 every one according to that gift which bounteous nature
01:11:08 Be innocent of the knowledge
01:17:47 Where?
01:24:20 Did you send to him, sir?
01:31:13 A deed without a name.
01:38:46 But no more sights!
01:44:19 And like good men bestride our down-fall'n birthdom:
01:49:41 uproar the universal peace
01:55:40 Which I have heavily borne
02:01:38 This is her very guise;
02:08:58 What soldiers, whey-face?
02:15:25 The wood began to move.
02:23:10 at Scone.
