When three weird sisters prophesize that he will become the King of Scotland, Macbeth and his wife take fate into their own hands and murder the aging king. As the play progresses, Macbeth finds it easier to destroy anyone in his path, but he pays a dear price. Initially a man of great potential, Macbeth chooses to give into his darkness, ultimately losing any connection to that which is true and noble and right. One of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, Macbeth is a timeless tragedy about the nature of ambition, conscience, and the human heart, and holds a profound grip on the Western imagination.
