What is tragedy? This program offers some answers by focusing on two of Shakespeare's best-known plays, "Hamlet" and "Macbeth". It examines the degree to which the hero is responsible for his own fate, and scrutinizes his response to social, political and personal pressures. Designed for students who are reading Shakespeare in the classroom, the program shows them how to take into account the effects of live performances.
