It was a strange story, but as it was made by William Shakespeare it was wonderful.

I can never get enough of this play and have taught it for years with my freshmen honors' students. As freshmen, they read Shakespeare's shortest play; as sophomores, they read HAMLET, his largest play (and magnum opus IMHO). I always thought of MACBETH as a precursor to HAMLET, and that's how I taught it. One of his darkest plays, and one perhaps to revisit during these turbulent times. Dare I also suggest some FUN with MACBETH?
