He Didn'T Stand A Chance!

Poor Macbeth never stood a chance. The cards were stacked against him all the way — what with three witches, a scheming wife, and eventual death all gunning for him (so to speak)! A cast from the St Mary's and Edmund Campion Colleges gave a very polished performance of Shakespeare's classic under the hand of producer Judy Hocquard. “Macbeth” was very well staged in St Mary's Hall before large and appreciative audiences.
