Shakespeare's Skill Makes
Macbeth Modern—Neusbaum

“Macbeth is a heel who lived in the middle.ages, a man
who had to fight with himself, a man whose soul was lost. You

may know someone like him.
He sacrificed his fellow men
as his ambition conquered his
conscience.”
The play is based on actual
history, although Shakespeare
made no effort to be accurate.
There really was a king of Scot
land called Macbeth (but not a
wicked one) and King Duncan
really lived. Shakespeare merely
took real characters and historical
situations and combined them to
make his play.
“Macbeth was doing all right,”
said Neuslbaum. “He had earned
•fame on the battlefield and his
king appreciated him. Duncan
said, ‘You are a great guy. I like
vou so I am going to give you
honors’.
“But Macbeth had ambitions
and delusions of grandeur. At
first he thought that the predic
tions of the weird sisters, who
represent fate, were just so much
nonsense tout when those same
predictions started coming true
he couldn’t wait.
“I’m going to get to the top
regardless,’ he thought and pro
ceeded to plot the murder of the
king whose throne he was sup
posed to inherit.
“Macbeth weakened, however,
and consulted Tiis wife.
“But Lady Madbeth was not
weak,” Neusbaum continued.
“She said, ‘Chop him down,’ so
they chopped. And Madbeth, with
his hands once red could stop at
nothing. He could not sit easily
on his throne. There had been
a prediction that Banquo’s sons,
not Madbeth’s, would be the fu
ture kings. Madbeth eliminates
Banquo but .misses Banqo’s son
Fleance.
“At this point Madbeth becomes
a tyrant. People are suspicious of
him and an underground move
ment starts up. Macduff, a lord,
joins the rightful king, Malcolm,
in England. Madbeth in his fury
has Macdufif’s family murdered.'
And Macduiff comes back for
revenge. He succeeds, but well!
“Lady Macbeth, whose now
self-sufficient husband no longer
consults her about his brush-offs
and rujb.-outs, has nothing to keep
her busy so she begins to torood.
She walks in her sleep, eventual
ly goes mad and commits suir
cide,’—-concluded Neuslbaum.
The metamorphosis of Mac
beth will be unfolded on the stage
of SchiWato - Auditorium ..March 29
and 30.
