Joe MacBeth
Lily Macbeth manipulates her husband Joe to assassinate a crime boss and take over his syndicate. Joe becomes paranoid, murders Lennie's father and wife. Betrayals and guilt consume him, leading to his ultimate downfall. Shakespeare (more-or-less) in a modern gangster setting. Lily Macbeth pushes her husband Joe to rub out the reigning crime boss and become the new kingpin himself. Success is short-lived, however, as he confronts Lennie, a mobster whose father and wife were Joe's murder victims. —Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>
