Fair is foul and foul is fair -- so said three weird women in ghoulish glee, predicting a subversion of order in fair Scotland! In the reign of King Duncan, Scotland is a just and hospitable land, with loyal, warlike thanes guarding the best interests of people! !Till the very best among them, Macbeth, gives in to a fatal temptation and commits regicide. But will the crown of Scotland sit easy on his head? Will justice be restored to Scotland? Or will Macbeth remain invincible? One of Shakespeare's most famous plays, Macbeth goes beyond a mere tragedy of moral order to a deeply psychological study of a mind preyed on by ambition, insecurities, fear, and regret. Playing out the timeless themes of good and evil, temptation and fall, order and subversion, the story of Macbeth has never failed to grip the imagination of audiences through generations.
