Rehabilitating King Macbeth (If It’s Working For Richard III …)

Scottish parliamentarian Alex Johnstone: “The reign of Macbeth, set in the context of the time, was successful and outward looking. To many, however, it is characterised by paranoia and murder because of Shakespeare’s portrayal. The proposal is to form an authoritative trail of important places connected with Macbeth … to allow people to draw a distinction between the fictional and factual character.”
