On this episode, we discuss the legal and historical contexts of Macbeth. Social Studies expert Jonathan Henderson sheds light on the influences behind Shakespeare's composition, what was happening between England and Scotland in the 17th century, and how theatre was viewed by members of society in that time period. Criminal defense attorney Jackie Lester joins the conversation to delineate the legal ramifications of the crimes committed in the play and what the repercussions would be if those crimes were committed in 21st century America.
