[ laughter ] and she had disciples, and she called them her disciples. she was an awful human being. [ laughter ] at intermission, opening night almost everybody left. probably because the first act was 3 1/2 hours long. and then, when we showed up for the second show, it had been closed. but of course she didn't give anybody a phone call. >> seth: at intermission of the first show, did you

the difference between lady macbeth and anna is lady macbeth goes crazy. anna does not. turn her stomach. it excites her. i think it we saw her in a year, 10 or five years, something is starting to be open. now they have a conversation or she doesn't have to be secret about the way she has been handling things. now it is out in the open. even though he hasn't verbally agreed, he has taken the money. now we don't have to play this game. >> she has the money. in order to save his best the thing he thought was the key to being competitive. >> right. or he would have lost everything. >> it was right there on the line. >> a lot of these people are mega-successful. there has been at least two or three times in their lives where they have literally risked everything to grow. that is what you are seeing. >> 30 days risking everything. >> absolutely everything. >> where is he in the end? he wants to achieve his goal. people put obstacles in his way. >> i do not know exactly. i think he can feel confident that his strategy has worked. >> in the end, he triumphs? or he simply knows

next back to the code -- -- macbeth is still remembered. [applause] >> thank you. what does this have to do with new york silicon culture? i believe it is more balanced. i think it is a balanced culture. i don't believe that technology and software stop all of the worlds problems. working in a creative company that serves people i think working in a place where you have everything from theater to art to the opera to amazing authors, i think the cultural environment is second to none and for that reason i prefer building a company like etsy in new york. silicon valley is a one industry town, but it's a big industry. on a personal level it's a really diverse company. >> both new york, proclaimed brooklyn -- especially brooklyn, the the area are seen as fostering and rewarding a certain class of people at the expense of many others. how does that factor into your concerns? >> we look at etsy as an opportunity for bringing opportunity to a diverse group of people. so the proof is in the pudding. we are seeing in the cities that i've mentioned in the entrepreneurship pr

what's awesome about doing macbeth or something really interesting on the stage is i'm in charge of the pacing for evening. if i think the audience should slow it down and hear it, i slow it down. if it's not that interesting i can rattle my way through it. it's really fun, like being a musician you know. >> and you've been able to take that theory to the before series. >> a couple that meets and follows them for another 18 years when they have children together. >> the before series and "boyhood" all my collaborations with richard linkletter, he is extremely sin cinematic. they are not theatrical. they are oddly cinematic. that assumes a absolute minute minutiae, it's the little tiny moments we don't really pay attention to, we think big moments define our lives, the same way we anticipate new year's eve is going to be fun and it really isn't fun. the magic of a romantic life happens in a bus ride. you can't anticipate. >> tell mee me about "boyhood" and how it came to be. >> the aplaysing thing about "boyhood" is it started about 13 years ago ago. training day had just come out. i had

>> they bring it up a lot and the thing, which i love, because lady macbeth is incredible and i thinkilarities of it, of the wife trying to talk her husband into doing something illegal for their own benefit. >> bad. >> but the difference with lady macbeth and anna is lady income beth goes crazy. >> and not crazy. >> and violence doesn't turn her stomach. >> what does she go through in this film? >> i think she get bigger. i think if we saw her in a year in ten five years. >> rose: that was my next question, yes. >> it is something that is starting to be opened and now they have a conversation where she doesn't have to be secret about the way she has been handling things, because now it is out in the open and he is, in essence although he hasn't verbally agreed he has taken the money so now we don't have to play this game. >> rose: i don't want to give too much of this away but there is some money which in the end becomes necessary in order to save his -- because he would have lost the thing he thought was the key to being competitive. >> yeah. >> right? >> yes. well he would have los

they're hard but not as hard as hamlet or macbeth or picasso's painting. those on the humanities art side i hope you'll make an effort to see how beautiful it is that an elooktron stands on a piece of silicon and becomes a semi conductor and how you can dope it witch impurities to become an on/off switch. i hope you understand the creativity of the engineers just as they should understand the creativity of the humanist, because, as i said if you like ada and you stan at the intersection you can be like her. you can understand the beauty of a piece of poetry, like one of her dad's lines and visualize it. she walks in beauty like the night. you visualize that. even though it's a hard line to understand. but like ada she can also visualize what an algorithm did, what a mathematical equation would do because she knew that a feat of engineering or a piece of coding or mathematical equation was just as much as a piece of poetry the good lord's brush stroke for painting something in our universe and that to me is the lesson of the digital revolution. thank you al

york's more popular long-running shows is "sleep no more" an avant-garde retelling of shakespeare's "macbeth," performed in three adjoining warehouses in manhattan designed to look like an old hotel. john gould rubin has also used the site-specific format in his own work. >> i did it because it was much less expensive and because it would endow the audience, which- - with an entirely different experience. you're in an experience if you go to the theater which is one that you're accustomed to. but if you go to a place, the address of which you've been given that morning by a telephone or an e-mail, you're already primed for an unusual experience. and so, it is economics. but it's also a way of endowing the audience with an unusual experience. >> we are not here for you. we are here for them. >> mazel tov! >> sreenivasan: a programming note. tomorrow night on many pbs stations, the film "rich hill" airs on independent lens. it follows three teenaged boys who are growing up poor, struggling with isolation and lack of opportunity. the film was the winner of the 2014 sundance prize for best docum

. >> it is very lady macbeth. let's be honest. >> these are women who are tough. hollywood is conditioning the public to understand and appreciate tough women. >> wait a minute. hollywood has a message here and they're pushing an agenda politically? >> no. >> you just said -- let's go back and read the transcript. you just said hollywood is pushing something. >> no, i said hollywood is conditioning it. >> conditioning us, why? >> because hollywood has always been interested in powerful, tough, ambitious women. they're much more interesting than the meek, mild alternative. >> stand by your man. >> think about all about eve. so it's not hollywood, it's back to shakespeare. >> yes, sure. >> michelle? >> it is reflected in everyday life and it's being highly publicized through hollywood and people love it. who doesn't read the story about susan rice sitting in a meeting and flipping the bird at one of her colleagues who irritated the hell out of her because of the way he was treating her? we see this happening with powerful women in d.c. and on television. >> so women

[applause] i see people lining up. this is good. >> i have read your book. >> as an author i wonder how you can write so many books and still have a full-time job.

and as lady macbeth discovered, it will not ever wash away.began a column written by a 21-year-old guy, and he said it better than anybody said it all week. ♪ >> chicago was the great city over the horizon. we read chicago's newspapers, and listened to its powerful a.m. radio stations. >> good evening ladies and gentlemen, it's midnight here in chicago -- >> long after midnight, i listened to jack broadcasting live. >> world famous. >> chatting with a martin and lewis, rose mare cloon. i was an accepted as a ph.d. in english by a university of chicago, but i needed a job. >> i got a part-time job at the sun times, and then five months later, the film critic retired and they gave me the job. i did not apply for it. newspaper film critics had been interchangeable. some papers had bylines that different people wrote under, for example, may tenay, and that could be whoever went to the movies that day because may really spelled out matinee. i was the youngest daily film critic in america, and it was a real good time to be a movie critic. >> armed r
