SYNOPSIS:
Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a story of hubris and an untrammelled
lust for power.
Macbeth is a brave and honourable Lord in the Scottish court of Duncan.
A chance encounter with three witches, who prophesize that he will be King, sets him on a path of evil and violence, fuelled by his wife, who eggs him on to murder even when he has doubts. This sets off other killings and slowly Macbeth is driven to madness. Lady Macbeth too is tormented by the evil she has unleashed.
In a world where men in power unleash wars against innocent people, destroying entire nations to feed their lust for power and to feed their own egos, Macbeth lives on, several centuries after it was written.
