Macbeth, a noble Scottish lord, is shown a pathway to power and the throne by supernatural beings. His bloody ambition and ruthless wife spur him on with complete and utter abandon to make the prophecy a reality. But everything, especially power, comes at a cost. Shakespeare’s eerie and thrilling tragedy explores unchecked thirst for control, tyranny and its consequences.
Written for the Hitz Shakespeare Translation Project as part of the
“Play On!” Project of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
