Several great filmmakers have interpreted this Scottish play. We’ll see screen versions by Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa and Roman Polanski, each of whom has a different understanding of the relationship between Lady Macbeth and her husband. The class is scheduled for 2½ hours to accommodate the longest of the films.
Mark Coleman taught Shakespeare for a couple of decades at SUNY Potsdam. He made extensive use of films in his classes. He has taught SOAR classes on filmed versions of Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, Hamlet and Richard III.
