Macbeth

Macbeth, a loyal general in the king’s army, is seduced down a path of death and destruction after three witches prophesy that he will be the next ruler of Scotland. Goaded by his wife, Lady Macbeth, he commits heinous acts to make this a reality. In the aftermath, the murderous couple are plagued by all-consuming paranoia and guilt. Known as ‘the Scottish play’ by superstitious thespians who believe its name invokes bad luck, this tragedy – Shakespeare’s shortest – is a chilling warning that ‘blood will have blood’.
