Macbett

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macbett (1972) is Eugène Ionesco's satire on Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Macbett contains much of the overarching plot of Shakespeare's Macbeth but with noticeable twists which transform it into an absurdist work. Such innovations include a long conversation between the thanes of "Glamiss" and "Candor" as well as a Lemonade seller and butterfly hunter.
