- Synopsis:
- In this epic, award-winning production of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, 11th century Scotland is brought to the fore as Macbeth (Jason Connery), a brave Scottish general, is delivered a prophecy by three witches that he will one day become King of Scotland. As ambition and desire for power consume him, and spurred on by his formidable wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the throne for himself. Guilt, paranoia and hysteria rise in a world of grim battlefields, desolate moors, forbidding castles and haunted caverns as a breath-taking tale of war, murder, intrigue and revenge unfolds.
