A brave warrior driven to ruin by supernatural forces, his own proud wife, and a swelling ambition he cannot master, Macbeth embarks on a murderous bid to seize and hold the Scottish crown – and Shakespeare’s tragedy traces the devastating emotional and psychological toll this takes on both him and Lady Macbeth. Rendered in poetry of unmatched power, the cruel ironies of their fate have made Macbeth one of the greatest tragic dramas the world has known, and it remains perennially gripping in the theatre. This edition is edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.
