One of the greatest Plays ever written by one of the greatest Playwrites in English Literature history.
I absolutely love Macbeth. Its the first Shakespearean play i remember watching in an English Class some 15 years ago.
Whilst some side characters don't receive the same attention to detail as, say: Macbeth, Lady Macbeth or Macduff, its well worth watching or reading.
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, encompassing witchcraft, bloody murder, ghostly apparitions.
The great Scottish play. A few things for non-Scottish readers: - Thanes are similar to lords, a lot of the locations still exist as do regions of Scotland. The real Macbeth was totally different from Will Shakespeare version. And yes Alistair Maclean probably did use the line 'The Way to Dusty Death' as a book title.
