Macbeth With Ethan Hawke
Series: Shakespeare Uncovered
Series Progress: Episode 2 of 1811% Completed
Synopsis
Ethan Hawke uncovers the story behind Macbeth, seeing some of the greatest productions and discovering the insights into the criminal mind that Shakespeare reveals. Assisted by historian Justin Champion, Ethan is introduced to Dunsinane where Macbeth supposedly lived and to the history books that distorted the true story and led Shakespeare himself to distort the truth. He is helped by actors and performers in his home town of New York as he investigates the 'bloody heart' of the character, finds out how important Macbeth's wife is to the story, observes Shakespeare's Globe actors rehearsing and performing scenes from the play and talks to Anthony Sher and his director Greg Doran about their stage and film production.
