About the Show

A war hero returns from battle and hears a prophecy that will change everything: he will one day be king.

But prophecy is a dangerous thing. Encouraged by ambition, fear, and the fierce influence of Lady Macbeth, Macbeth begins a violent climb toward power. What starts as one terrible choice becomes a chain of bloodshed, paranoia, betrayal, and madness.

Shakespeare’s Macbeth is considered one of the darkest and most intense tragedies ever written. It is a story about ambition, guilt, fate, manipulation, violence, and what happens when a person reaches for power at the cost of their own soul.

  • Macbeth: A brave Scottish warrior faced with a prophecy that tests his loyalty, ambition, and sense of right and wrong.

  • Lady Macbeth: Macbeth’s wife, bold, intelligent, and deeply driven, with a powerful influence on his choices.

  • Banquo: Macbeth’s friend and fellow soldier, thoughtful, honorable, and cautious about the future.

  • Macduff: A Scottish nobleman with a strong moral compass and deep concern for the state of the kingdom.

  • Lady Macduff: Macduff’s wife, protective, honest, and grounded.

  • Duncan: The King of Scotland, respected, generous, and trusting.

  • Malcolm: Duncan’s son, thoughtful and watchful, with an important connection to Scotland’s future.

  • Donalbain: Duncan’s younger son, alert to danger and protective of himself and his family.

  • Hecate: A supernatural figure connected to the witches and the darker forces of the play.

  • Ross: A Scottish noble who moves through the political world of the play and brings important news.

  • Lennox: A Scottish nobleman who observes the shifting atmosphere of the kingdom.

  • Fleance: Banquo’s son, young and significant because of the prophecy surrounding his family.

  • Porter: A darkly comic servant who brings a brief moment of humor into the play’s tense world.

  • Seyton: An attendant connected to Macbeth’s household.

  • Siward: A military leader with a strong sense of duty.
