Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed in this tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal.
Encouraged by prophecies from three witches and his wife, Lady Macbeth, Macbeth is driven to murder King Duncan and seize the throne of Scotland for himself. However, guilt and paranoia consume him as he descends into madness, leading to a series of violent and tragic events.
