Macbeth : A Case Study

An inside account of Out of Joint's acclaimed 2004 production of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, from one of Britain's most respected theatre directors, Max Stafford-Clark.

Taken from his book, Taking Stock, this case study draws from diaries, photos and interviews to recreate the evolution of this famous and influential production, directed by Max Stafford-Clark himself.

Max Stafford-Clark has been at the cutting edge of theatre in Britain for more than thirty years. Taking Stock, one of the richest, most intimately informative books on the making of theatre, is his account of how his seminal productions were brought to life.
