Description

"Macbeth," one of William Shakespeare's most renowned tragedies, delves into the corrosive nature of ambition and the harrowing consequences of unchecked desire for power. Set in medieval Scotland, the play begins with the brave and loyal general, Macbeth, who, along with his friend Banquo, receives a prophecy from three witches. They predict that Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor and eventually the King of Scotland. Intrigued by the tantalizing possibility of ascending to the throne, Macbeth becomes consumed by a voracious ambition, fueled further by the prodding of his ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth.

Author

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) remains the centre of English-language drama: poet, player, and shareholder of the Globe. Tragedy, comedy, and history still turn on his lines. Interactive Media publishes the plays as reading and listening editions for a worldwide audience.
