LS: No. I played Banquo in George Wolfe's production in 1998 with  Alec Baldwin  as Macbeth.

PLAYBILL.COM: What makes Macbeth the right role for you to perform now?

LS: For the Public  Theater , it's a wartime play. It's something that is topical to people. I don't know if I respond to things in an openly political way. I just think they're planted in your subconscious. For me, what's fascinating about the character is the war that he wages in his mind-the interior battle of morality and conscience. It's good stuff.
