Telling the story of the rise and fall of a fate-plagued king Macbeth in a mystical and magical, yet altogether tragic story in which Macbeth and his companion Banquo meet with three soothsaying witches who prophesy that Macbeth will become the baron of Cawdor and later on shall be king.

Little to Macbeth's knowledge the stature of king has already been bestowed as the king of Scotland has already sent teh current king of Cawdor to his death due to his treachorous activities. As Macbeth has now risen to the power of baron word reaches his wife that the title of queen is within her grasp.

Macbeth's wife then convinces him to murder the King of Scotland of which he carries out only to be saddled with the worry of one more of the witches prophecies saying that Banquo’s children are to inherit the throne, which causes Macbeth great distress as Banquo's son Macduff is highly suspicious of Macbeth's quick rise to power.

Macbeth seeks out the wisdom of the fate deciding witches one last time and is told that he has nothign to worry about as no man born of woman can do him any harm, little does he know that Macduff was a product of a Caesarean birth setting Macbeth's fate.
