On the first three pages you can hear the director and actors talk about what makes a tragedy and what kind of play Macbeth is. The director also talks about his approach to working with Shakespeare. 'Macbeth's choices' includes discussion about what drives Macbeth's decisions: is it chance, ambition or fate?
The next three pages are all about murder. First there are some suggested reasons behind the murder of Duncan, then a look at the act itself and a close-up on the blood, and finally the actors and director talk about the after-effects.
The last three pages talk about the way Shakespeare presents kings and the relationship of the play to the time in which it was written. James I was known for his interest in witchcraft; does the play set up kings and witches as opposites of good and evil?
