E22: Our Fascination with the Morally Corrupt - The Chicago Tribune at Stratford

Why are audiences so captivated by characters who blur (or outright cross) the moral line? In this episode, theatre critic Chris Jones is joined by veteran Festival actors Tom McCamus and Jonathan Goad for a thought-provoking conversation about what makes a compelling villain. Drawing on their roles in Macbeth and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, they explore ego, desire, and the enduring appeal of the morally compromised. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has been extended to November 23. Don’t miss this “Critic’s Pick” from The Globe and Mail, where cheering for the bad guys has never been so fun. ⁠EPISODE TRANSCRIPT⁠ Support for The Meighen Forum is generously provided by Kelly & Michael Meighen and the T.R.
