The most succinct definition of a Classic is “That which endures.” Our aim at Theatre Classics is to make accessible to our audiences Classic plays from two Golden eras - the theatre of Shakespeare and the Ancient Greeks. All of our content is original, creations of Square Talk productions, in association with Apollo Arts, directed by Nicolas Walker.
Our live plays and films entertain and educate surrounding communities of the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California and we take equal pride in the role we play online, with academic communities around the world, making available these enduring classics for today’s generations and those to follow.
Hello, you’re prolly not gonna see this but I wanna thank for helping me with my soliloquy recitation. Wasn’t too sure how to perform Lady Macbeth’s part in this scene and this video really helped!
This helped me so much with knowing how the tone and rise and falls of their tempers for when I had to do this with another person for English class. Thank you!
Not quite the same as Francesca Annis, in Roman Polanski's 1971 film production of MacBeth, where she played Lady MacBeth, in the sleepwalking scene, entirely naked.

Best monologue of “Out, damned spot” I have seen. I’ve watched a lot of different interpretations and I identify with this one the most. The fearfulness, the anger, the remorse and guilt. Very good 😊
Not 100% keen on the translation chosen, or perhaps they are changes to make it more accessible for audiences but there are some fairly dramatic changes that do change the feel compared to most translations. However, some amazing performance!
G'day to You! I have always wanted to see a Greek Play ,I was not concerned Who's, thank you for this, now at 73 I can finally tick this one off my List!
