Comment on Harvard to host performance of re-imagined Macbeth for Black-only audience

Comments

Putting aside the other issues, the idea to reframe Lady MacBeth as 'ambitious' rather than scheming seems like a leap.

...and a fresh interpretation of Lady Macbeth as an “ambitious Black woman” with a performance designed to elevate “Black female power, femininity, and desire”

I'm honestly curious how they will handle this.
