A Czech theater company is performing an interpretation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth with a new main character: a power-hungry leader named Vladimir MacBetin. The director says the play is not a literal reflection of current events, but it draws on modern Russia to enact themes of violence, manipulation, and the pursuit of power. (RFE/RL)
