When the noble Scottish Lord Macbeth sees a path to power open up before him, he is determined to trod that path to its bloody end. With his ruthless wife at his side, the two plot a cunning course to put and to keep Macbeth on the Scottish throne. Shakespeare’s heart-pounding thrill ride of a play is a harrowing exploration of ambition, morality, tyranny and corruption.
