The first production of The New Globe Players was marked by murder. Now Suzanne Thornton’s company dares to mount the most cursed of plays… When charming Scotsman Diarmid Ramsay asks to play the titular role in Macbeth, he sets off a flurry of excitement among The New Globe Players. Despite protests from the company director that performing the “Scottish play” will lead only to disaster, Suzanne decides that the show must go on—with herself acting the part of Lady Macbeth, opposite the handsome stranger. Rehearsals begin—but then rumors about Ramsay arise, implicating him in the death of a sailor found behind the Goat and Boar. Is the man a murderer, possibly involved in a plot against the newly restored king? Suzanne refuses to believe it, until another murder connected to Ramsay occurs. It seems the curse of Macbeth may have been unleashed, leaving Suzanne no choice but to use her wits and her wiles to determine if Ramsay is a gifted actor—or a murderous villain.

Agnes Bell, now back in her native Yorkshire, is employed at Miss Wilkinson's Deer House School for Young Ladies at Thorsby, and surprised to receive from her impregnably respectable superior a request to take part in a local theatrical production, including a scene from Macbeth. At once excited and slightly unnerved by the prospect, Miss Bell makes the acquaintance of Mr Gervase Keene, the famous Shakespearean actor from London, who has kindly condescended to take part by way of a favour to his friend Mr Hatfield, chairman of the governors of Deer House. Meanwhile tragedy strikes Thorsby in the shape of a brutal murder. Shocked by the incompetence of the local policeman, Miss Bell decides to look into the matter herself. Her investigation leads her deep into the world of the 'Fancy' those involved in the sleazy sub-culture of mid-nineteenth century prize-fighting. And indeed, Miss Bell proves no mean fighter herself! Though unable to prevent a second murder, and in imminent peril of her life, the indomitable Miss Bell finally succeeds in discovering the truth, and ensuring that the murderer is brought to justice.

As The New Globe Players bring laughter to audiences with their production of Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night, Suzanne Thornton must bring justice to the tragic victim of a brutal murder… When the body of a young boy—murdered, mutilated, and clothed in women’s attire—is found under London Bridge, Constable Pepper believes him to be a member of The New Globe Players, one of the actors who specialize in women’s parts. He is not, but Suzanne, summoned to make an identification, does recognize him from an encounter in the tavern the night before—as the alluring doxy who caught the eye of more than a few of the patrons. Suzanne suspects that whoever hired him for the night reacted violently when his true sex was discovered. Moved by the lad’s fate, Suzanne determines to find his killer. And first, she must uncover his identity—an investigation that leads her to one of England’s wealthiest families and a powerful politician determined to keep the truth from being revealed at all costs.

"...something wicked this way comes." This is a beautifully designed original classic edition of William Shakespeare’s tragedy that is considered one of his darkest and most powerful works. A dark and bloody drama of ambition, murder, guilt, and revenge set amid the dreary castles and isolated moors of medieval Scotland illustrates the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. Macbeth paints a striking portrait of an honorable man destroyed by a fatal character flaw and the tortures of a guilty imagination. Partly based on a true historical account the play charts the bloody rise to power and tragic downfall of the warrior Macbeth, a Scottish general under the rule of King Duncan. Three witches tell Macbeth that he will become the king of Scotland. Macbeth, spurred on by his ambition and by his wife, murders Duncan and ascends to the throne. His evil deed entangles the conscience-stricken Macbeth in a web of treachery, deceit, and more murders, which ultimately spells his doom. His reign is bloody and tyrannical and is ended by the combined forces of Scotland and England. The play is believed to have been written in 1606 and it was first performed that summer at the Globe Theatre. Attracting the most renowned actors to the leading roles, the play has been continuously in production since the 1660s. It has often been referred to as “The Scottish Play” since speaking the title in a theater has been associated with a curse.

Hilary takes on a pair of mysteries—one fictional, and one all too real In college, Hilary Quayle dreamed of the stage, and playing all the great leading ladies that Shakespeare had to offer. But her interest was due less to the Bard than to another man: director, actor, and theatrical personality Michael Godwin. And though she got her wish, she found that acting onstage and romancing backstage did not add up to happiness. A decade past college, she’s now a publicity wizard and occasional sleuth, but still nursing enough of a schoolgirl crush to help Michael Godwin when he calls. The director is in New York to stage a spectacular, arena-sized Macbeth, one that will answer the centuries-old question: Who is the mysterious third murderer who appears in Act III? When accidents begin to plague the production, Godwin and his company chalk it up to the play’s curse. But when a real murderer enters the scene, only Hilary Quayle can guarantee a happy ending.

Macbeth (full title The Tragedy of Macbeth) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare; it is thought to have been first performed in 1606. It dramatises the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. Of all the plays that Shakespeare wrote during the reign of James I, who was patron of Shakespeare's acting company, Macbeth most clearly reflects the playwright's relationship with his sovereign. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book, and is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy.A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death.Shakespeare's source for the story is the account of Macbeth, King of Scotland; Macduff; and Duncan in Holinshed's Chronicles (1587), a history of England, Scotland, and Ireland familiar to Shakespeare and his contemporaries, although the events in the play differ extensively from the history of the real Macbeth. The events of the tragedy are usually associated with the execution of Henry Garnet for complicity in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.In the backstage world of theatre, some believe that the play is cursed, and will not mention its title aloud, referring to it instead as "The Scottish Play". Over the course of many centuries, the play has attracted some of the most renowned actors to the roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. It has been adapted to film, television, opera, novels, comics, and other media.
