Shakespeare's Macbeth was performed from July 18 through August 10 2003 on the Boston Common. My son, Oliver Poole, played Macduff's son, who is slaughtered along with his mother, by Macbeth's thugs. These murders set the stage for the final confrontation between Macbeth and Macduff. The entire production was well concieved and staged by Steve Mahler and the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company. Jay O. Sanders plays Macbeth, and, because he is so physically big, he is a very commanding and convincing Macbeth. I have seen the play 5 times and it keeps getting better. Several years ago, I saw Jay Sanders in "The Taming of the Shrew" at the Delacorte in NYC. He was great in that show too.
