Fear not, till Birnam wood Do come to Dunsinane
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurlyburly’s done,
When the battle’s lost and won.
*****************
There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.
**************
Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top full
Of direst cruelty; make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and p…
assage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose.
**************
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
If you recognise any of the above quotations that probably means you studied Macbeth at school or later on at tertiary level… Doesn’t it just bring back those chilled out feelings of carefree days – lying around trying to decipher Shakespeare?
Go and relive those studious youthful moments at the WITS Arts school rendition of MACBETH this Spring! It’s directed by Megan Wilson – which means it should be good!
“The Wits School of Arts in collaboration with First National Bank presents William Shakespear”s MACBETH in the Wits Theatre, 13 – 24 September @ 19h00; directed by Megan Willson and featuring students from the Wits School of Arts with special guest, Dale Cutts in the role of ‘Duncan, King of Scotland’ – all the deceit of a soap opera, the battles of a fantasy trilogy, without the cheesy one-liners. If murder and mayhem, intrigue and equivocation excite you, see Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a tale with universal resonance: see what happens when a couple’s greed for power and iniquitous behaviour sets them on a path of spiritual dissolution.”
