It's episode 214...and don't let 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would'

Macbeth (2015) tells the story of Macbeth. After hearing from some witches that he will be king, Macbeth decides to take matters into his own hands to move things along. Assisted by his wife, they kill the current king - but not everyone is happy about it. In fact nobody is happy about it. Especially Macbeth.

This is one of the most visually spectacular movies you'll ever see, and we discuss its merits as an adaptation; it's use as a teaching aid; and compare it with other versions. Alongside some tips in guilt management, you'll hear our thoughts on keeping a cool head during a crime; and keeping the central heating bill down.

All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?

Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Was the hope drunk, Wherein you dress'd yourself? 

Next week, it's four hours of fun with Kenneth Branagh and Hamlet (1996).
