Industry Reviews "...a most excellent play for variety." Book Text - Samuel Pepys (12/27/1666)
"To the Duke's house, and saw 'Macbeth,' which, though I saw it lately, yet appears a most excellent play in all respects, but especially in divertissement, though it be a deep tragedy; which is a strange perfection in a tragedy, it being most proper here, and suitable." Book Text - Samuel Pepys (01/07/1667)
