Directors have debated whether or not there should be an actor playing the ghost of Banquo. In Act 3, Scene 4 of William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, it would be more effective to have an actor playing the ghost of Banquo appear onstage in order to help the audience understand better and add drama to the play.
