PH adaptation of Shakespeare classic brings many firsts

The De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) brings both prominent theater figures and newcomers in staging Makbet, a Filipino version of the Shakespeare classic.

Adapted by the late National Artist for Theater and Literature Rolando Tinio, the play tells the story of Macbeth, a brave Scottish general who was prophesized that he would one day become King of Scotland. However, consumed by his ambition and his wife’s encouragement, Macbeth murdered King Duncan and took the Scottish throne for himself.
