BBC Radio 4 Extra - Macbeth Remixed, Lady Macbeth - Monster or Princess?

Was Lady Macbeth a monster or true royal princess?

Was Lady Macbeth an overbearing monster or a true royal princess? Macbeth is back to sort fact from fiction. Stars Liam Brennan.

Was Lady Macbeth a barren, ambitious, overbearing monster who goes mad from guilt? 

Or was she a true royal princess, hailed first queen of Scots, who had to marry the man who murdered her husband?  

If you think you know all about Macbeth then think again as the real Macbeth comes back to life to help sort fact from the more familiar Shakespearean fiction.

Liam Brennan stars as MacBeth with members of The National Theatre of Scotland.

Producer: Pennie Latin 

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2007
