SYNOPSIS

Three witches prophesied Macbeth shall be King. Despite his reservations, Lady Macbeth shames Macbeth into killing King Duncan, whose sons flee, becoming suspects. Macbeth becomes king and has Banquo killed. At a banquet, Banquo’s ghost appears to Macbeth, who raves madly. The three witches conjure three prophecies. Macduff flees and Macbeth eliminates his family. Lady Macbeth, racked with guilt, maddened and trying to wash off imaginary bloodstains, commits suicide. Macduff vows revenge and with Duncan's son rides to Dunsinane. Matching a prophecy, soldiers carry trees as camouflage. Dunsinane is overrun, but Macbeth, recalling a prophecy, boasts that he cannot be killed by any man born of woman. Macduff, born by caesarean, kills Macbeth. Duncan’s son is crowned at Scone.
