Macbeth (LA Theatre Works)
William Shakespeare
Macbeth, often referred to as the cursed Scottish play, stands as one of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedies. This gripping tale follows General Macbeth, who is foretold by three witches that he will become King of Scotland. Driven by ambition and spurred on by his wife, Lady Macbeth, he commits regicide, eliminating anyone who poses a threat to his newfound power. As he ascends the throne, Macbeth spirals into a world of tyranny, fear, and paranoia.
