Music By Stephen Dodgson

This enabled the BBC to broadcast a nearly complete text omitting only the two Hecat scenes (probably
written by Middleton), and including what may well be the missing scene: It occurs in a 1664 Restoration
adaptation of MacBeth by Shakespeare's godson Sir William Davenant, who based it on a playhouse prompt
