Macbeth

MACBETH is one of Shakespeare's four pure tragedies. It recounts the exploits of Macbeth, a Thane of Scotland, as his wife's ambitions mix with his own to hatch a murderous plot. Macbeth ascends to the throne Scotland by murdering the reigning king in his sleep; yet, once that deed is done he himself is unable to sleep and begins a game of endless murders to ensure he can remain ensconced on the throne.

William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor. He was born on 26 April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His father was a successful local businessman and his mother was the daughter of a landowner. Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and nicknamed the Bard of Avon. He wrote about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
