Macbeth

A chilling tale of ambition  

When three witches utter a surprising incantation — “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter” — a soldier and nobleman’s course is forever altered. Macbeth and his ambitious wife seek to kill King Duncan and usurp the throne. The pair is successful, but their satisfaction is fleeting, and the two embark on a perilous path of destruction. Macbeth is soon haunted by the bloodstained ghost of a former enemy, and the crown grows heavy with the weight of his insecurity and paranoia. Shakespeare’s thrilling story of treachery and ambition explores the relationship between power and corruption, revealing the villainy that can emerge when power is sought.  

Three things to know 

• Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s shortest and quickest tragedies, consisting of just over 2,000 lines. 
• The Guthrie has produced (or co-produced) Macbeth in five past seasons, most recently in our 2014–2015 Season with The Acting Company. 
• The play is often referred to as “The Scottish Play” because of the superstitious legend that saying the word “Macbeth” in a theater invokes a curse.
