In the short documentary Shakespeare Uncovered by PBS the host Ethan Hawke led the documentary on playing Macbeth and how to play him. Macbeth written by Shakespeare in 1606 is about a man who is told one day he would become king. He takes it as he has to kill the king to become king which he ends up doing and slowly he loses his sanity until eventually he dies. Ethan Hawke goes over how one can’t just play Macbeth, that to play him you have to understand what type of life he lived and what he was like as a person. As he is a made up character no one really knows what he was like but people have played him all over the world and so Ethan Hawke goes all over the world to listen to their side and how they played him. The documentary was interesting
