MACBETH
Shakespeare's grim 'Scottish play' is an astonishingly gripping masterpiece of ambition, deception, witchcraft and blood. Macbeth, a great warrior, is assured by three 'wyrd sisters' that he will be king - and almost instantly their predictions begin to come true. So begins Macbeth's dreadful ascent - eagerly encouraged by Lady Macbeth - cutting a bloody swathe through all resistance.
But just when all seems to be in his hands, the witches' words - only as true as they are deceptive - begin to unravel.
