‘A supreme theatrical poem that has a language that eats into the soul’ Michael Billington, Guardian

Shakespeare's blood-soaked drama of murder, madness, and the unexplainable begins as Macbeth is promised a golden future as the ruler of Scotland by supernatural forces. Urged on by his wife, he murders the king to secure his ambitions. But he soon learns the meaning of terror - once he kills once, he must kill again and again, while the dead return to haunt him. Macbeth is an anatomy of fear and a grim depiction of what someone is capable of doing to achieve their desires.
