Q with Tom Power

Shownotes Transcript

Acclaimed Canadian theatre maker Robert Lepage is back at the Stratford Festival with a new take on Shakespeare's “Macbeth.” This new production tells the same classic story of greed, betrayal and murder, but it’s set during the brutal Quebec biker wars of the ‘90s. Robert joins Tom Power to talk about putting a new spin on this Shakespearean tragedy, his unique approach to theatre and his incredible decades-long career. If you’re looking for more conversations about Canadian theatre, check out Tom’s chat with esteemed stage actor Tom Rooney on what it takes to play a dog.
