Full Cast
In this BBC full-cast production, a trio of witches predicts Macbeth's early demise.
In a tale of fate, fulfilment and ego, Macbeth and his wife desire the Scottish kingship. Macbeth's temptation and descent into evil, his wife's ruthlessness and subsequent madness and the overarching presence of the supernatural charge this gripping production. Will their conscience, and the prophecy, catch up with them before the crown can be secured?
Ken Stott stars as Macbeth and Phyllis Logan as Lady Macbeth.
BBC radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly-formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.
In this acclaimed BBC Radio Shakespeare series, each play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre. Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the modern day.

And whereas other BBC productions explore various emotional readings/interpretations of lines, in this they are all in a slap dash hurry to get to dinner or something. All the lines seem rushed through; there is barely any break between scenes to the point some seem to run together. I would have to say that there is no actor or character that seems thoroughly interested in the story or being in this production.
Sorry BBC, love everything else, but there are far better Macbeths out there, unfortunately not all of which are on audible. I would like to have strictly audio of the Jeremy Brett/Piper Laurie production and would love audio from the Nicol Williamson production. while both have a moment i would like done differently, over all they are great and Nicol is one of the best Macbeths I've seen with some great line interpretations. I have never felt it right when Macbeth is presented as an emotionally weepy type (like he is so often portrayed in the murder aftermath scene and Nicol falls into this also) and Nicol portrays him as a brooding angry warrior type which is more in fitting with the themes.
