Macbeth

The Shorter Shakespeare series Macbeth is a shortened, original language version with stunning photos from a variety of productions. It is the ideal, accessible introduction to the play for young people from the age of 10 and for students and adults too. There is a helpful commentary from modern narrators and useful footnotes.


Editor Tracy Irish works for the Royal Shakespeare Company Education Department. This edition is the set text for a Stanford University Education Program for Gifted Youth course.
