The story of this work

Overview

A 1898 print by Graphic Services of the Student Centre in Zagreb depicts seven scenes from a Lyceum production of Shakespeare’s *Macbeth*, directed by Johnston Forbes-Robertson, who also played the title role. The central scene at the bottom shows Forbes-Robertson as Macbeth on his throne, turning away from a ghostly apparition while Mrs Patrick Campbell, as Lady Macbeth, gestures toward the court. Other scenes include Macbeth’s death, his encounter with the witches, and a portrait of Lady Macbeth. Gerald Lawrence and Robert Taber appear as Malcolm and Macduff, respectively.
