In a country ravaged by war and rebellion, a fragile peace has finally broken out across an exhausted and wounded land.
Macbeth, returning from battle, meets three witches bearing a strange and fateful prophecy that begins a chain of bloody and brutal events.
Driven by an insatiable desire to succeed, Macbeth sets out to become King, by any means possible.
As his power-hungry wife sets him off on a murderous course to seize the crown, he is consumed by a great darkness… with violence and tyranny inflicted upon everything and everyone who stands in his way. But will their sanity remain intact, or will they pay the ultimate price for their destructive actions?
Don’t miss this powerful and chilling production of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy, which lays bare the human cost of unchecked ambition.
