on one of the great stories of ambition and revenge. jo nesbo's macbeth has as its central character a policeman, not a warrior who nonetheless murders his way to the top. listening of course to the siren voices of the witches on the way, they are drugged up prostitutes and being egged on by his wife in this retelling of the story known simply as lady. and he duly ushers in a time of bloody chaos, which leads, this is hardly a plot spoiler, because it is macbeth, to his own destruction. it's one of eight re—writings of the plays commissioned in the hogarth shakespeare series. nesbo rewrites the bard. welcome. was it scary to take on a story like this that everyone knows?

not really, because where i come from people don't, well they know the story but it's not like in the uk where you read shakespeare in school. in norway, we read henrik ibsen in school. my relationship was not so much to shakespeare as it was to macbeth because i saw the movie by roman polanski when i was in my early teens. i was so fascinated by the story that i would actually go and get the written edition of the play in english at the age of 13 or 14, i didn't understand one sentence. the power of the story is so visceral, it is such an elemental story that just draws you on. you are expressing there what the imagination does with this tale. for me it was the first time that i had come across a story

where you are sort of manipulated by the storyteller to sympathise with what seems to be the protagonist of the story and then suddenly a few minutes later you are caught on the wrong side, the dark side and you are sort of forced into trying to understand and sympathise with the villain. you kept it in scotland. one of the ways you get us into this world is a fantastic description of a drugs bust that goes wrong at the beginning. it strikes me that's the kind of thing you just love, the thing thatjust explodes all over the page. the play is fast—paced and so is the book. it needs to be. it is set... it could be set in scotland, i use the scottish names. you just say it's a northern city. it's more newcastle in the 70s and get carter with michael caine.

did you feel constrained by the fact that you had to work in the names? macduff becomes duff. hecate, who is running the witches, is an underworld figure. you were stuck with the names. you had to have a duncan. did that bother you ? no, not really. there were a few too many macs for norwegian taste and so mcduff was the only name i really shortened. let's talk about what makes a good crime thriller of the kind that you write. what is the secret of that genre? what keeps you going in it? the big difference between the harry hole series and the macbeth is that the harry hole series is who did it crime mysteries and macbeth is a why did they do it mystery. then again, the protagonist, the heroes of the story are similar. they are both half protagonists and half antagonists.

while harry is flirting with the dark side, of course macbeth is taking the full step into the dark side. the thing about harry as a policeman is that he does everything he can to put you off, he is pretty unpleasant. his relationships are all over the place, he's a drunk and all sorts of things. yet we like him. why do we like him? i think because we can relate to his sins. it's him being... making the wrong moral choices are more intriguing and interesting to us than him of making the right moral choices and he will do both. there's a read over to macbeth there. however monstrous his behaviour is, and he perpetrates a terrible deed, his wife is no more attractive

in this book than she is in the play, as a character, i mean. and yet we have got a sneaking understanding of why he does it. that is why people keep coming back to macbeth. they, like you said, it's really fast—paced and things happen and it's an action story and although you have these monologues you still have to find the answers for yourself. why is he going over that edge? there are many people standing on that edge and looking at an opportunity that they will not grab. it means they have to cross that moral line. macbeth does and although there are suggestions in the text of why he does it, still it's the question you have to come up with the answer for yourself. will people believe that he can go just like that to murder of a king from the prophecy

and the belief and ambition? we know that some people do and that's why we believe in him. we know it's possible. however horrible. in the play when macbeth is presented with the prophecy the interesting thing is his reaction, that he will be stunned and almost scared. it's as if he already at that point can see himself becoming a murderer because of the prophecy. in my novel it's a little bit different, i have stuck more or less very loyal to the play. not out of loyalty but because i realised, working on macbeth, there's a reason why it's a classic. you really can't change it. it's a beautiful construction. in my novel, he strikes a deal with the three witches, which in the novel is not

a supernatural element, but they are wary. they're drug dealers. they're definitely on the dark side. they are striking a deal with macbeth that if he kills duncan he will himself become the chief of police. in a way it's more understandable. it's still at the start of the story. loyal to duncan and he's a protagonist. you believe that he's the defender of good causes that he is sort of an idealist but what he is doing both in the play and the story is using a rhetoric to convince himself that it's the right thing to do. once you have a character who works, then everything else follows and it has got to be that way around and not the plot that throws up a character who happens to be good. you find the right

character and you're away. the stories are not about murders or thrones, they are about people, real people like you and i making moral decisions. and conflict within that character. that is what it is all about. that is what i've been writing about since i started and that is very much at the core of the story of macbeth and that is why when i was asked, can you write a novel based on a shakespeare play? i said i can't write on any play but if you give me macbeth i will definitely do it. well, you've done it. jo nesbo, thank you very much. thank you. good morning. after the unusual
