by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
The first stereo production of this play with Joss Ackland as Macbeth Googie Withers as Lady Macbeth Robert Hardy as Macduff Music by STEPHEN DODGSON conducted by RAE JENKINS
Written in 1606. and first printed in the Folio of 1623, it is one of the shortest of Shakespeare's plays. This enables us to broadcast a nearly complete text. omitting only the two Hecat scenes (probably written by Middleton). and including what may well be the missing scene: it occurs in a 1664 Restoration adaptation of Macbeth by Shakespeare's ' god-son ' Sir William Davenant who based it on a playhouse prompt-copy different from that reproduced in the Folio of 1623. Arranged for stereo and produced by RAYMOND RAIKES
There will be a short interval after Act 3. Scene 4, at 8.15* (Joss Ackland is in ' Captain Brassbound's Conversion' at the CambridgeTheatre, London) followed by an interlude
