Jack Armstrong and Carmen Khan, founders of the Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre, have distilled their 30 years of experience directing Shakespeare’s plays into a new series. This edition of Macbeth includes detailed notes on every line of the play: what is being said, why it’s being said, what the drama of the scene is, and why Shakespeare included it. It provides a structure that allows us to understand the play as story, as literature, and as performance—all at once. This edition will truly allow students to understand Shakespeare in a way no other edition can.
