Written by William Shakespeare

Macbeth, William Shakespeare's tragedy about power, ambition, deceit, and murder, captures the timeless nature of the human experience. There is greed for power, murderous evil scheming, and the nobility of the fight for good and evil. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth succumb to tortuous guilt. Without realizing it, they are both lost in the depth of the chasm into which they willingly stepped. The play itself tells the story of a man, urged by his wife and foretold by prophecy, who commits regicide in order to gain power.
