“Macbeth would not be Macbeth without the central trio of Banquo, Lady Macbeth, and the tragic anti-hero himself. It is around their relationships that the show turns, and it is the successful portrayal of each of these characters by Taylor Richardson, Nina Dia, and Erik Larsson respectively that makes King’s Crown’s performance so successful.”
