About the Play

Perhaps Shakespeare’s most famous play, Macbeth is a time honored tale of murder and treachery, black magic and blacker hearts. With a fantastic array of ghosts and witches, warfare and intrigue, magic and murder, this story of a man who would be king never loses its power to thrill and shock, with its action and intrigue or to glorify and enthrall with its poetry and language, “Life’s but a walking shadow…”
