Plot Synopsis

Set in medieval Scotland and partly based on a true historical account,MacBeth charts the bloody rise to power and tragic downfall of the titular warrior. Already a successful soldier in the army of King Duncan, Macbeth is informed by Three Witches that he is to become king. As part of the same prophecy, the Witches predict that future Scottish kings will be descended not from Macbeth but from his fellow army captain,Banquo. Although initially prepared to wait for Fate to take its course, Macbeth is stung by ambition and confusion when King Duncan nominates his son Malcolm as his heir. -revised from Cliff's Notes
