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
00:08:01 Sleep shall neither night nor day
00:12:38 Who was the thane lives yet;
00:17:07 There if I grow, the harvest is your own.
00:23:22 That no compunctious visitings of nature
00:29:19 I have no spur to prick the side of my intent
00:35:04 And shut up in measureless content.
00:41:19 This is a sorry sight.
00:46:34 Knock, knock, knock! Who's there?
00:51:40 Too cruel any where.
00:56:55 Is't known who did this
01:02:43 Then prophet-like they hail'd him father to a line of kings:
01:08:36 My lord!
01:15:04 Ourself will mingle with society, and play the humble host.
01:20:14 Then I'll sit down.
01:27:26 But peace!
01:34:23 Thou shalt not live;
01:40:20 Shall not be long ere I'll be here again:
01:46:03 I would not be the villain that thou think'st for the whole space that's in the tyrant's grasp
01:51:28 reconciled my thoughts to thy good truth and honour.
01:56:41 that ever yet they heard.
02:03:09 When none can call our power to account?
02:09:49 but, in their stead, curses
02:16:07 Arm, arm and out!
