Description de l’éditeur
A promised crown. A murdered king. A conscience that will not be silenced.
Set in Scotland, William Shakespeare's Macbeth follows a celebrated warrior whose encounter with three witches awakens a dangerous ambition. When they predict that he will become king, possibility hardens into temptation. Urged on by Lady Macbeth, he murders King Duncan and takes the throne, only to discover that power gained through violence offers no safety.
As suspicion grows, Macbeth turns to further bloodshed, while guilt invades the lives of both husband and wife. A ghost at a banquet, a vision of a dagger, and Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking make inward torment vividly theatrical. The play's concentrated action and poetic language bring urgent questions into focus: does prophecy determine a life, or merely reveal what someone is willing to do? And what happens when the desire to rule becomes stronger than every human bond?
