It's finally happening tomorrow.

Participating in a student exchange programme has always been on my 'College Life' bucket list. I prepared my clothes for tomorrow and hung it to keep it ready to go; it was then that a pang of nostalgia hit me. I used to hang a white shirt in the same position when I was in school (as a part of my school uniform). Never wore one after I left school. But here I am, playing the character of Charles Marlow and hanging my (kinda) school uniform now. Just how fast the night changes!

Gotta practice my lines now.

A Groatsworth of Goldsmith

It is characteristic of this specialized age that appreciation for Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) seems to have declined over the past century. And yet it is the very eclecticism of his undertakings that make Goldsmith extraordinary: playwright, novelist, poet, historian, biographer, natural historian, and (many believe) also a children’s author. Like Smollett, Goldsmith was trained to be a…

“I don’t remember ever not thinking I was going to be an actor,” says Cush Jumbo. We’re meeting to talk about her new role in Shakespeare’s legendary psychological drama, Macbeth, in which she will star opposite David Tennant. Has she always wanted to act, I ask? “This is just what I do – I’m not that good at anything else.”

When it comes to Jumbo, “good” is an understatement. The star of The Good Wife has played many formidable stage roles, appearing in Phyllida Lloyd’s groundbreaking, all-female version of Julius Caesar at the Donmar Warehouse in 2012, She Stoops to Conquer in the same year at the Olivier Theatre, and opposite Hugh Jackman in The River on Broadway – to name a few. A personal favourite for me was her star turn as the titular role in Hamlet at the Young Vic two years ago, which stopped me in my tracks.

But it was when Jumbo decided to not just act but create – writing and starring in Josephine and I, a play about the jazz sensation, political activist and international icon Josephine Baker, in 2015 – that she garnered real, critical acclaim. Josephine and I catapulted Jumbo towards scoring the iconic, whip-smart female role she has now undertaken: Lady Macbeth.

Despite being offered the role several times, Jumbo didn’t feel the set-up was right – until now. “One of the biggest things I’ve learnt over the last 10 years is: don’t play opposite a man, if you’re not sure whether that man is going to mess with your mental health,” she tells me. But the right timing, the safety net of acting opposite Tennant (a close friend) and the vision of director Max Webster has been a magic combination, giving her the confidence to take on this venerated role.

In this production, Webster has chosen to put the marriage at the centre. “He believes Macbeth is a play about a couple suffering with psychosis after losing a child,” says Jumbo. In order to create a sense of intimacy, the production employs the use of headphones, through which the audience experiences binaural technology that creates an intense and unnerving 3D sound world. I’m excited to see how this technique might help to amplify the sense of inner monologue that Shakespeare is so good at creating.

Lady Macbeth and Jumbo are alike in one sense, at least: they both want to be heard. You could call this serendipity, but Jumbo thinks of it more as destiny: “It’s quite amazing how the universe gives you things when you need them,” she says. Jumbo’s ambition with her performance is to change perspectives of this much-maligned anti-heroine. “Her name has been dragged through the mud,” she explains. “If she were male, she would’ve been seen as a flawed hero.” She’s determined to give Lady Macbeth’s character new meaning, and to prove her as one of Shakespeare’s smartest creations.

Jumbo is looking forward to a busy period, Macbeth aside. She has demonstrated her entrepreneurial spirit with Criminal Record, an eight-episode crime thriller that she pitched, co-executively produced and will star in, which will debut on Apple TV+ in January 2024. It’s an exciting time for the actor – and there’s no doubt that, both on stage and screen, Jumbo is one to watch.'
