...spooky lairs, but also as permeating regular society. Thus they are garbed as wives of members of the court, and are listed as Lady Angus, Lady Caithness, and an unspecified dowager. They often hover on the sidelines, and even take over the small role assigned to Lady Macbeth's servant. It is only in their incantatory privacy that they become obviously witchlike by donning half-masks. (Kahn of course omits the spurious interpolations involving Hecate, the patroness of witches; less commendably, he had done a little further cutting, though the production has a running-time of only...
