Hello and welcome to classical stuff.

You should know a podcast about an hour long.

Hey-oh.

My name is Thomas Magby.

Wackawaka.

Joined as always by Wackawaka himself, Graham Donaldson.

Hi. And wiggle, wiggle, himself, Graham Donaldson. Hi.

And, uh, wiggle wiggle, wiggle fart fart.

I forgot your name.

Wiggle, wiggle,

fart fart fart. Is that the one? I knew we've called you that before. Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Wart Fart. Harts. It was Fart Firt. Wiggle. But that's fine. Are you sure? I'm I think the wiggle comes before the fart sir.

All right.

We are here to,

uh,

we're here to study a little bit of Shakespeare.

So we have, we have, we have, we've found ourselves a theater. We are all sitting on stage right now. And that is the one place I want to be where we, where we, where we, while we discuss Macbeth. Oh, we're supposed to say that over and over in the theater. I was going to say that's not something you should ever say in a theater, right? Macbeth? Okay, maybe we should do a whole other episode on like the history of that because people I have always grown up saying like you don't say Macbeth in the theater. What is it what does it? Where did it come from? Is that a thing? That's your episode, man. Okay. I wasn't planning on talking about that. Okay. But we are talking about it. I'm pretty sure it caused the potato famine. The potato. Jesus. It's traced back to the play's original 1606 performance. Oh, okay. With tales of the actor playing Lady Macbeth dying on opening night. Whoa. Other supposed mishaps include real daggers being used for props. Uh-oh. Actors falling off stages and mysterious deaths or accidents during production.

It's a pretty dark play.

So it doesn't surprise me if, you know, some spooky things happen around it.

I love Macbeth.

You like Macbeth?

So we're talking about Macbeth.
