This is an official tie-in edition of Shakespeare's great tragedy to accompany the major new film starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. 'Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble'. Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by three sinister witches, Macbeth murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the meaning of terror - killing once, he must kill again and again, and the dead return to haunt him. A story of war, witchcraft and bloodshed, Macbeth also depicts the relationship between husbands and wives, and the risks they are prepared to take to achieve their desires.
