The Tragedie of 'Lady' Macbeth

  • Burdall's Yard Anglo Terrace Bath, England, BA1 5NH United Kingdom (map)

Lady Macbeth is a villain. That's what we've always been told. Shakespeare had it written that this tyrannical, treacherous Queen was driven mad by her desire for power and goaded her husband into committing regicide.

What if Shakespeare was a big, misogynistic liar, though?

Set five years before General Macbeth is told of his prophecy by the three 'Weird Sisters' (more slandered women, tut tut), this play uncovers the true Lady Macbeth and her passion for life, dancing and smoking weed... so much weed. The Tragedie of 'Lady' Macbeth tells the true story of this long suffering heroine and her contempt for sovereignty and power. It shows a young princess that cries 'out damned spot' at zits in the mirror not blood on her hands. This play - written by the true, female bard - finally offers redemption to the condemned in an attempt to resurrect this damned, derided Queen.
