Macbeth: Leila and Ben - A Blood History

T047699194
A Tunisian Macbeth where Shakespeare s malevolent tyrant and his wife are reincarnated as the equally diabolical modern-day duo, Le?la and Zine Ben Ali. Combining Shakespeare s text with film and reportage, this production interrogates the way Arab leaders use, possess and perpetuate power. Shakespeare s vision of evil and driving ambition finds new resonance amidst a mafia-like culture.
