Macbeth Radio Show Script - Act 5, Scene 1

Doctor: I have watched Lady Macbeth for the last two nights, and I am starting to think you are fibbing about her behavior. When was the last time she was sleep-pogo sticking?

Gentlewoman: Since Macbeth became king. I have seen her get up from her bed, put on her night gown, unlock her closet, grab her pogo stick and hop away for a bit and then return back to bed, all while she is asleep.

Doctor: While she is asleep, besides her actions, have you heard her speak of anything?

Gentlewoman: No I haven't.

Doctor: You really should start paying attention to that.

-ENTER LADY MACBETH-
*POGO STICK SOUND*

Gentlewoman: Doctor! Here she comes! Come over this way quickly. *HEELS/DESK NOISE* Watch her unusual behavior all in the midst of her sleep. Stay hidden.

Doctor: But… Her eyes are open?

Gentlewoman: Yes but her senses are shut.

Doctor: What is she doing now? Why is she washing her hands? What is that awful smell?

Gentlewoman: It is an accustomed action. She washes her hands in poop every night at this hour.

Doctor: Poop?!

Lady Macbeth: Oh poop! Here is poop.

Doctor: She has spoken! I've got to write this all down in order to remember it.

*WATER BOTTLE/GLASS NOISE* *FAUCET*

Lady Macbeth: Get off my hand poop! Get off I say! One. Two. Why then 'tis time to go fourth with the murder. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man would have eaten so many beefy bean burritos?

*WHOOPEE CUSHION NOISE*

Doctor: Did you hear what she just said?

Lady Macbeth: The Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now? Will I ever get this mucky poop off my hands? No more of that, my lord, no more of that! You upset everything.

Doctor: I am appalled!

Gentlewoman: She has spoken of something she probably wouldn't want anyone to hear. Only Heaven knows what she is

    They were being stretched thin with an influx of patients. Some kind of road accident. She would not be dealing with any of those patients though, instead a man who had come in for the first time with an unidentified illness. He had passed out in the ambulance and was just arriving. She could not even catch his name, but pulled on her surgical gloves and hurried to where she was directed, one of the rooms nearby. She was ushered in quickly and told that a nurse would probably be with her in around fifteen minutes, to call right away if anything became too urgent, and a file was pressed into her hand. The door snapped closed with a click and she fumbled to open the file, walking towards…

    Lady Macbeth is a controversial figure. She is seen by some as a woman of strong will who is ambitious for herself and who is astute enough to recognise her husband’s strengths and weaknesses, and ruthless enough to exploit them. They see her in her commitment to evil and in her realisation that the acquisition of the Crown has not brought her the happiness she had expected, and finally, as one who breaks down under the strain. Others see her as a woman ambitious for her husband whom she loves. She recognises the essential good in him, and feels that, without her, he will never win the Crown. She allies herself with the powers of the occult for his sake, but here inherent femininity breaks down under the strain…

    Insanity In Macbeth

    • 724 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The timeless play, Macbeth, centers around themes of power, guilt, insanity, magic and revenge. The main character, Macbeth, although once brave and loyal, slowly goes insane in his attempt to achieve power. Macbeth's character, along with his wife, Lady Macbeth, go through dramatic changes; they fall into the dark abyss of their own deeds and lead themselves into hell. Each incident on this path of darkness, relates to seeing the blood of their victims. To Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, seeing blood meant the end to all rational sanity and marked their beginnings as ruthless murderers unable to work past their guilt and paranoia. I explore how blood represents a mental inability for the Macbeths to escape from their evil deeds of cold blooded…

    Power In Macbeth

    When a gentlewoman observes that Lady Macbeth has been sleepwalking and sleeptalking, she calls upon a doctor to diagnose her. The doctor says he cannot clearly identify the issue since it is a mental problem and not a physical problem, but he adds that ““Unnatural deeds/Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds/To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets” (Shakespeare 5.1.75-77). He is suspecting that she is guilty of something major, and she is confessing her secrets while she sleeps, through “unnatural deeds” such as sleepwalking and sleeptalking. This sleepwalking and sleeptalking that Lady Macbeth suffers from is considered to be a “Freudian slip”, and is “best explained, according to Freud, in terms of the unconscious and its repressed desires” (Beeley 16). It is evident that Lady Macbeth’s “unconscious” and “repressed desires” includes washing away the blood and guilt that came from the murder of Duncan. This desire is revealed when she says “What, will these hands ne’er be clean?” (Shakespeare 5.1.45) while she talks and acts as if she’s washing her hands in her sleep. She is clearly desperate to remove Duncan’s blood from her hands since they symbolize her guilt, but she is unable to. Her hands will “ne’er be clean” due to the stain they have left on her conscience. The doctor concludes that Lady Macbeth’s “unnatural…

    Lady Macbeth was agitated by this, and instructed us to sit back down, saying something along the lines that this is just an infrequent illness, and how we should just ignore it as it passes. This is a highly discomforting thought, and it is not only me who thinks this. The other nobles are looking around at each other, trying to make some sense of this episode. Someone mutters that he’s gone mad. Eventually, he recovers and we’re all a bit shocked by what has happened, but all in all relieved. As soon as it was over, another episode takes hold, and Lady Macbeth is quick to end the party, and shoos us all outside as quickly as she could. Maybe today isn’t a great day in the history of Scotland. Maybe the chaos isn’t over…
