MacBeth

As one of King Duncan’s chief generals and closest military advisers, Macbeth is led to perform wicked deeds by the prophecies of three witches and the machinations of his wife. When he is pronounced Thane of Cawdor for his military victories – a prophecy come true before his ascension to the kingship – he is tempted into murder to fulfill the second prophecy. One he is crowned king, his brutal plans are made all the easier as he begins killing indiscriminately to ensure his throne. This story is about how hunger for power can corrupt a man beyond repair, or will to. He betrays everyone he ever knew, ever loved, for greed of control. Will Macbeth get rid of his sins peacefully? Will the people forgive a tyrant of such proportions? Absolute power is synomonous with absolute corruption.
