Actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company have met a convicted murderer to help them with their current production of Macbeth.
Dominic Cooke, the director, said it was important that cast members talked to someone with a real experience of killing and the effect it had on everyone involved.
He arranged for a man convicted of robbing and murdering a woman to face questions from five cast members, all of whom have to carry out a killing in the play, says the Daily Telegraph.
Mr Cooke said the 45-minute discussion had provided "fascinating insights".
