me and macbeth

I have this really strong connection with William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

For some reason it's the one I come back to, again and again and again and again. I know the material fairly well at this point (it was one of the Shakespeare plays I studied in Year 11 English)... moreso than any other Shakespeare play.

There are even chunks of it that have become lodged in my memory and that I can more or less recite at will... not always perfectly, but well enough.

So this page details the versions I've seen so far and I'll add to it as I see new versions.
