what mr shakespeare of. i think if you you are merging two different points but if you look at the international order if you look at the situation in the world it is not stable and this u.s. administration has been far too reactionary and far too focused on on itself rather than trying to stem the tide of instability you know david david let me let me ask you question always a level you know what would you like to see happen more proactive i mean most of the world i would say think that the united states is overreacting to everything around it maybe should step back a little bit because again from the outside looking in there's no difference between bush and obama. well i think i think what i'd like to see is what mark mentioned which is the united states getting its economic and its domestic house in order to be a better example and to lend advice. to the world so some more countries could gain in prosperity that's that's the thing that's nice about what mr shakespeare said about about economic movement ar

the play you're about to see is one of shakespeare's great tragedies, macbeth. you recall the story of macbeth, i'm sure. he was a scottish nobleman who was given a hint by witches that he would one day be king. he then hastened the prophecy's fulfillment by promptly murdering the king and seizing his throne. this deed, of course, is what set in motion the long train of events that make up this tragic drama. now, there are several things that we think anyone viewing this play ought to have clear in his mind if he wants to understand the play's meaning. macbeth is the shortest of shakespeare's dramas and has this swiftest tempo. everything in this play happens very fast. once the play's movement begins, and it does at once, it never slackens. each event, each episode of the plot falls on the heels of its predecessor. there are no pauses, such, for example, as the gravedigger scene in hamlet. no comic relief, with the possible exception of the drunken porter in that almost unbearably tense scene of the knocking at the gate. shakespeare is all business here, a fact

in the same way that shakespeare wrote about one dilemma inherent in the human condition by situatings in the difficult choices facing a certain prince in denmark. it's, indeed, difficult to find exact analogs in the west for soyinka's public role in nigeria and throughout the continent. authors of plays, novels, poetry and essays, he's one of the most widely-read african writers both inside and outside the continent. he's also perceived as a force of the political arena with an unquestioned moral authority, a moral authority burnished by years of courageously speaking truths to power, as we say. and putting himself in harm's way his stature depends upon his remarkable ability to avoid confusing the realms of art and politics, all the while knowing that the two are inextricably intertwined and giving equal weight to both, but showing us that nonetheless, they are separate rhetorical forces with different artistic demands. never does he attempt to force rhetoric to do the work of the imagination. if all politics is local, as tip o'neill wisely opined, then soyinka shows us as shakespea
