...implacable drama, John Osborne draws up a balance sheet of a personal hell. His lawyer anti-hero Bill Maitland (Nicol Williamson) is "irredeemably mediocre," and incorrigibly self-destructive.

Rarely have two actors so young and so full of animal magnetism played the two key roles Philip Anglim, best known for his work as John Merrick in The Elephant Man brings to his Macbeth the boundless energy of a fledgling Henry V. The shapely Maureen Anderman makes Lady Macbeth a hot-blooded sex symbol. One can visualize the pair being written up in the gossip columns as smart society's latest darlings and very much...
