Synopsis
- Witches prophesy that Macbeth will become King of Scotland. Not he, but Banquo, will however be the progenitor of future kings. Driven by the relentless greed for power of wife, murdering the king and numerous atrocities enable him to take possession of the crown and ascend the throne of Scotland. In the pursuit of this goal, he destroys everything in his way. Inevitably, the price for this is madness: Lady Macbeth cannot free herself from the blood of the murdered King Duncan – the tyrant himself cannot escape the sinister prophecy of the witches.
