It's a mystery to me, but I've seen far more poor versions of Macbeth than good ones. This review is the current Shakespeare's Globe production of Macbeth, linked here. Follow link to the review. If you want a taste of what follows, check these quotes from the programme by the dramaturg:
Macbeth represents the emerging capitalist order –
This rationalism which came to define the logic of capitalism has brought us the climate crisis –
European colonialism was reshaping the world – built on a culture of cultivation in complete ignorance and denigration of the practices of non-Europeans –
The misogyny of witch hunts and the racism of white supremacy are thus closely entwined-
Human means white male classically educated and able-bodied –
The food we eat from beef to chocolate is driving deforestation –
These are allegedly comments on Shakespeare's play!
