I've just booked tickets for this play at the Malthouse in July – looks great. I'm always a sucker for a production riffing on Macbeth (my favourite Shakespeare play - I was in it once at uni!).

[dancing together in a circle]
The weird sisters, hand in hand,
35
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about,
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace! The charm’s wound up."
@dbc3@DrALJONES I've said for a long time, Europe has a few centuries and #DespoticKings, that has shaped its politics. With #tRump and the #GOP, the US is finally having its first #Macbeth or #Hamlet. Maybe we will grow up.
Have booked to see #Macbeth with Ralph Fiennes & Indira Varma next month in Liverpool directed by Simon Godwin. I'm so excited, I haven't been to the theatre in ages & I've loved this play ever since my school days.

"we are all hastening towards the last syllable of recorded time"
somehow floored by reading this just now in a student's draft dissertation. It's a quote from Richard Seymour's #DisenchantedEarth. From #Macbeth originally:
“To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!”
