“Macbeth” has been my favorite Shakespeare play for as long as I can remember. I didn’t truly fall in love with Shakespeare’s works until I read it, so when I had the opportunity to see Actors’ Shakespeare Project’s (ASP) production, directed by Christopher V. Edwards, on Friday, Oct. 17, I jumped at the chance. This wasn’t my first ASP show, either; I had seen their production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” earlier this year, and thoroughly enjoyed their take on one of the most famous of Shakespeare’s comedies.
