Macbeth

Macbeth was a play by William Shakespeare.

On 5 November 1605, a script of Macbeth was on a balcony of the Houses of Parliament. (VG: The Gunpowder Plot)

Robert Dodds believed his role as Banquo in the play to be his greatest triumph; most thought he was a poor actor. He was killed by Pamela whilst reciting his lines from the play. Two plaques with speeches from the play adorned Dodds' home, Banquo Manor. (EDA: The Banquo Legacy)
