 I think Macbeth is the most atmospheric of all of Shakespeares plays; I don’t think it is particularly witty or poetic. It really didn’t make an impression on me. I think the descent into madness doesn’t translate as well on paper as it does on the stage; I would very much like to see it performed.

Since I am not a fan of plays, this one was no different. It was okay.
