"A unique retelling of Shakespeare's notorious play, JOE MACBETH ('55) places the tragedy in the American underworld through the lens of a Chicago mobster and his ruthless wife - played by Star of the Month Ruth Roman.
"A student of the prestigious Bishop Lee Dramatic School and a player in the New England Repertory Company, Roman's classical background in the theatre enhanced her performance as 'Lily Macbeth.'
"While its British audience was less receptive to the film's bold diversion from the original text, critics praised Roman's theatricality which would translate back to the stage later that decade performing for the Chicago theatre." |
