Does ambition have to be seen as corrupting, or like a kind of illness'? These are the questions the business writer Stefan Stern asks in his book, Fair or Foul: the Lady Macbeth Guide to Ambition. He argues that far from the cliché of a scheming wife, Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth demonstrates a more sophisticated understanding of human nature, that could help us navigate the pitfalls of ambition today.The playwright Zinnie Harris made Lady Macbeth the hero of her adaptation of the classic play last year. But now she's focused on the figure of The Duchess of Malfi, in a contemporary retelling. Played by the actor Jodie Whittaker, the Duchess defies her family's wishes and control, and asserts her own desires, with devastating results. The Duchess is on at the Trafalgar Theatre, London until 20th December.Mary Queen of Scots spent nearly two decades imprisoned under the orders of Elizabeth I. From her chambers she wrote countless letters, many of them in code. Now 400 years after her death a new cache of encrypted letters has been uncovered. Jade Scott, a historian and expert on Mary's correspondence, brings her captivity to life in Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots. Producer: Katy Hickman

Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare's most popular plays, so why would anyone write a new version? Zinnie Harris is the writer of Macbeth (An Undoing), which is coming to the Malthouse Theatre. It fleshes out the story of one of the theatre's most notorious villains: Lady Macbeth.Also, The Woman in Black is a chilling ghost story that takes us to a lonely house beyond the marshes, where, as night falls, tormented spirits rise to their eternal purpose: to take revenge on the living. It's the second-longest-running play on London's West End and is now touring Australia with John Waters and Daniel MacPherson in the cast.

BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to David about the fascinating process or reconstructing these ancient works, staging them in a way that gives a modern audiences a similar experience to those who watched them 2,500 years ago rather than as museum pieces and his views on Scottish theatre. The Egyptians will have an initial run at Gulbenkian Arts Centre in Canterbury from 22 to 25 February 2023. Macbeth (an undoing) by Zinnie Harris, after Shakespeare, runs at Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, also until 25 February.

Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth is ruthless in her pursuit of power and then driven into madness and despair. But the writer and director Zinnie Harris has re-imagined a new story for Lady Macbeth in her version of this classic play. Macbeth (an undoing) - published by Faber - is on at The Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh until 25th February. Marion Gibson is Professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures at the University of Exeter and is interested in how power and superstition collide in witch-trials through the centuries. In her latest book, The Witches of St Osyth, she tells the story of the sixteen women and one man accused of sorcery in a small rural village in 1582, and of a community devastated by violence and betrayal. The filmmaker Jo Ingabire Moys draws from her own experience of surviving the Genocide in Rwanda in her short film Bazigaga, shortlisted for a BAFTA. As violence erupts a Tutsi pastor and his young daughter take shelter in the home of the feared shaman Bazigaga. The film was inspired by the true story of Zura Karuhimbi who used her reputation as a witch doctor to save hundreds of lives. Producer: Katy Hickman Image: The actor Eliane Umuhire in 'Bazigaga', written and directed by Jo Ingabire Moys

Jette Ostan Vejrup je nagrado Prešernovega sklada dobila za več premiernih vlog v zadnjih treh letih. Bila je, na primer Klitajmestra v uprizoritvi Ta nesrečni rod Zinnie Harris, v režiji Ivane Djilas, Imelda Marcos v uprizoritvi Taka sem kot vi, rada imam jabolka Theresie Walser, v režiji Borisa Ostana, nastopila je v več vlogah v uprizoritvi Sedem dni Katarine Morano in Žige Divjaka, v režiji Žige Divjaka, pa tudi v več vlogah v uprizoritvi 2020 po motivih Yuvala Noaha Hararija, v režiji Ivice Buljana. V obrazložitvi nagrade je zapisano, da Jette Ostan Vejrup »razpira prostore umetniških kreacij z nezgrešljivo melodiko odrske pojavnosti, ki sloni na izčiščeni formi igralske pripovednosti in je s svojim pretehtano niansiranim izrazom tudi izrazito detajlna, subtilna in globoko izpovedna. Zdi se, da igro organsko nosi v sebi, odlikuje jo tenkočutno upravljanje z igralsko energijo, kjer so premišljeni vsaka gesta in pogled, besede in gib, v njih pa odmeva tudi pronicljiva uglašenost z igralskimi partnerji in celostno logiko uprizoritve.«

Zinnie Harris has been a presence in the new writing scenes of her home country of Scotland and in London alike. In that time, no writer has drawn so fully and with such imagination from the classical cannon of dramatic literature. Harris's plays are creatures steeped in their dramatic past. Classical heritage sits in her own original work as freshly as in those adaptations.
