‘A supreme theatrical poem that has a language that eats into the soul’ Michael Billington, Guardian. Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by supernatural forces, Macbeth is spurred on by his ambitious wife to murder the king and seize what fate has seemingly offered him. But power bought with blood demands more blood — the dead return to haunt him, and terror becomes his constant companion. Shakespeare’s blood-soaked drama of murder, madness and the uncanny stands as an anatomy of fear and a bleak reckoning with what some will do to fulfil their desires.
