With the encouragement of his scheming wife (Allison McKenzie, River City), Macbeth murders the rightful king and seizes the Scottish throne. And so begins a period of tyranny and fear, cold brutality and civil war. Macbeth’s paranoia and guilt grow stronger by the day, the bodies begin to mount up, and he finds himself haunted by the past and tormented by the fear of losing his new kingdom.
