Witches, prophecies, premonitions and conspiracies – Macbeth is a cauldron full of elements brewed together into a gripping tale of loyalty, love and betrayal. It is foretold that General Macbeth will become the king of Scotland. Driven by ambition – of his own, but even more so of his wife, Lady Macbeth – the General conspires to ensure that the prophecy is fulfilled. What follows is a violent and tragic tale of murder and madness, rightly earning Macbeth the reputation of one of Shakespeare’s most tragic masterpieces.
