Unsex me here | Macbeth (2023) | Act I, Scene 5 | Shakespeare's Globe

Описание: Lady Macbeth has just received news of the witches' prophecy that Macbeth 'shalt be King hereafter', and performs a soliloquy to bolster her decision to make the prophecy come true – no matter what the cost.

Matti Houghton performs Lady Macbeth's famous speech from our 2023 production of Macbeth.

★★★★ 'Powerful... striking’ (The Guardian)
★★★★ 'Snappy, provocative and engaging' (North West End)

Directed by Abigail Graham, Macbeth plays in the Globe Theatre until 28 October as part of our Summer 2023 season:

00:00 Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty!
0:12 Make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it!
0:24 Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature’s mischief!
00:36 Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep throug the blanket of the dark,
To cry ‘Hold, hold!’
