What was the role of the spookish older lady? (season2)
What does the older lady in Season 2 represent? She is spookish in the way that she looks and speaks to Geoffrey. I'm just not sure why she does this or what she represents.
she like one of the witches....
at least this is what I thought.

I agree. He has not thought of doing "Macbeth," any more than Macbeth has thought of being Thane of Cawdor or King of Scotland. She essentially prophesies that he will do "Macbeth." She plants the seed with Geoffrey, just as the witches do with Macbeth.
First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win. Gandhi.
She also tells Richard at the end of Season 2 "It's all yours now." Which paves the way for him to take over New Burbage at the end of Season 3, as the witch, she starts the prophecy all over again...

She was excellently cast in this role. Given each season lives out in real life within the characters whatever play/s they're focusing on performing, she is brilliant! Added credit goes to how she was filmed and utilized as a facilitator.
