For all of the Productions I work on I try to have questions set up for both the Audience and those involved with the production for after the show to have a Q&A talkback after the show. Here are a few of the questions that I came up with:
Macbeth is seen as a tragic hero who goes mad and falls under the weight of his crown in the end, but he got there by assassinating those in power before him. Do you think that things would've been different during the show if he had gotten there through normal means?
Was the Witches plan all along to get Macbeth killed or was it truly to make him the king and he abused his station that lead to his downfall in the end?
Are there parallels of this story to modern day America or even other countries in the world?
Does taking a modernization of Shakespeare disrespectful to the original work and the playwright, or is it taking appreciation for them?
What about the Post-Apocalyptic atmosphere made this production of Shakespeare's Macbeth unique with it's message compared to other productions in the past?
There is a series of complex emotions that many character's especially Macbeth and Lady Macbeth experience throughout the show, how does one prepare to find those characters in works like these?
What lessons have you taken from this production that you will take into future productions of Shakespeare you might end up doing?
What lessons could we take from this production into the real world?
What was helped you learn how to interpret the language that Shakespeare used in his writing?
Did doing this production as a audio podcast change the way you worked and prepared as an actor?
