MACBETH

This trade edition of the popular Folger Library Shakespeare includes the familiar features of the mass market edition: facing-page explanatory notes, scene-by-scene plot summaries, and illustrations from the Folger archives. The bonus DVD adds a performance of Macbeth recorded before a rapt audience in the Folger’s intimate Elizabethan Theatre. Conceived and directed by Teller (of Penn & Teller) and Aaron Posner, this acclaimed production showcases the inventive magic of Teller, who, with Posner, contributes a new foreword to this edition, writing about their vision of the play as a "supernatural horror thriller." The DVD also includes over 50 minutes of special features, including interviews with the directors, actors, designers, and scholars. Color. 124 minutes. 272 pages. 2009 edition.
