Music By Stephen Dodgson

Written in 1606, and first printed in the folio of 1623, it is one of the shortest of Shakespeare's plays.
This enabled the BBC to broadcast a nearly complete text omitting only the two Hecat scenes (probably
written by Middleton), and including what may well be the missing scene: It occurs in a 1664 Restoration
adaptation of MacBeth by Shakespeare's godson Sir William Davenant, who based it on a playhouse prompt
copy, different from that produced in the folio of 1623.
