In the very first episode of Chewing the plot we take on perhaps more of a mammoth task than we first thought having to split it into two episodes!

Graham picking the text was always going to be a risk though as he picked the eponymous Macbeth by William Shakespeare. So join us in episode one part one as we get into the history and context behind the story, learn all about where the legend comes from and the time it was presented in as well as working our way through the first acts to gather just why this play is the play it is.
