Theatre
Description
Description
The action takes place over a period of three months, moving from the battlefield to Macbeth’s castle.
After a resounding victory, King Duncan’s foremost general, Macbeth, is confronted by three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will soon become King. The witches prophesy that the heirs of Macbeth’s best friend, Banquo, will become kings after Macbeth’s death.
Spurred on by his powerful wife and his own ambition, Macbeth murders King Duncan and seizes the throne. Macbeth has Banquo murdered but Banquo’s son escapes – as does King Duncan’s son, Prince Malcolm. Then Macbeth murders the wife and son of General Macduff who, in turn, wants revenge. Macduff joins Prince Malcolm in exile, where they raise an army against the usurping tyrant.
Malcolm’s army besieges Macbeth’s castle. Lady Macbeth, driven inane with guilt, takes her own life. The play climaxes with Macduff confronting the now-demented Macbeth in mortal combat.
