The post-punk Marxist band Gang of Four once sang, with plaintive aplomb in the face of the mixed results of industrial job creation, “please send me evenings and weekends”.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the play “Macbeth” If, by some miracle, you haven’t seen or read this play already but intend to, you should probably stop reading now.
