Krása je děs a děs je krása - to si prozpěvují tři čarodějnice v ďábelském zaříkávání a věští převrat v klidném Skotsku... Za vlády krále Duncana je Skotsko spravedlivou, pohostinnou zemí, kde šlechtici věrní králi a schopní válečníci střeží zájmy skotského lidu... Nejlepšího z nich, Macbetha, ovládne osudové pokušení a spáchá vraždu. Ale ponese skotskou korunu bez výčitek? Bude ve Skotsku obnovena spravedlnost? Nebo zůstane Macbeth bez trestu?

Macbethův příběh, zobrazující věčné drama vyvolané soubojem zla a dobra, pokušení a podlehnutí, pořádku a zvratu, nikdy nepřestal poutat pozornost a probouzet představivost generací diváků.
