Macbeth, mighty general of Scotland, thane of Glamis, war hero. Lady Macbeth, Macbeth’s wife, cunning as a fox, and as venomous as a viper. Profoundly different, yet very much the same. Why? Human nature. Love can be a poison, arsenic dipped in honey, and darkness can be borne of goodness, for human hearts are frail and fragile. A great epic is spun, as the two plot and conspire for the throne. Their love, their minds, their bodies are tested to the limit, in this tale of glory, of ambition, of power! Join them, as they rise to great heights, and plummet to deep depths!
