MacBeth - William Shakespeare

In 1606, James 1st had been King of England for three years. Most of his Stewart ancestors had met bloody and violent deaths, so for Shakespeare to write a play about the murder of a Scottish King was a bold move. The play was MacBeth; dramatic, fast moving and brutal, it contains some of the greatest speeches in the English language. But was MacBeth always going to be a murderer, or did the witches make him do it? Why did his marriage go wrong? What was an equivocator? And was it all OK in the end? Join Rupert and Charlie as they give you an insight into the strange and terrifying world of the supernatural, and the titanic struggle between good and evil which is the background to this gripping drama.
