Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 1: Profoundly Damp

This week on Whine with Some Cheese, Eugenia and Avery are forced, against every reasonable skincare guideline, to confront the opening of Macbeth. It is thunder. It is lightning. It is rain. It is an aggressively open place that threatens silk blouses, cashmere, and the very concept of indoor civilization.We meet three witches who treat scheduling like a personal attack on etiquette, communicate exclusively in riddles, and somehow think “upon the heath” counts as a venue. Eugenia would like to remind everyone that calendars exist for a reason. Avery would like to remind everyone that roofs also exist for a reason. Together, they unravel Shakespeare’s greatest crimes: ambiguous timing, moral ambiguity as a personality trait, and a complete lack of charcuterie.Along the way, they litigate “hurlyburly” as a word, panic over “fair is foul” and what it does to a carefully curated definition of foul, and issue a formal complaint about Graymalkin and Paddock’s vibe. If you have ever felt personally victimized by fog, unclear plans, or literature that refuses to respect golden hour lighting, welcome home.In this episode: witches, weather, etiquette violations, prophecy adjacent chaos, and zero cheese mentioned by Shakespeare, which feels actionable.
