Set in 11th century Scotland and partly based on a true historical account, “Macbeth” charts the bloody rise to power and tragic downfall of the warrior, Macbeth. Already a successful soldier in the army of King Duncan, Macbeth is informed by Three Witches that he is to become king. As part of the same prophecy, the Witches predict that future Scottish kings will be descended not from Macbeth but from his fellow army captain, Banquo. Although initially prepared to wait for fate to take its course, Macbeth is stung by ambition and pushed down the path of evil by his manipulative and power-driven wife. Do the prophecies of the Witches come to be? Will the crown behold a new bearer? Or does the door to hell beckon and seal the destiny of the once noble warrior?
