Macbeth is among the most famous of William Shakespeare's plays, as well as his shortest tragedy.
It is frequently performed at professional and community theatres around the world.
This play, loosely based upon the historical account of King Macbeth of Scotland by Raphael Holinshed and the Scottish philosopher Hector Boece,
is often seen as an archetypal tale of the dangers of the lust for power and betrayal of friends. ~ wikipedia
First Witch:
Round about the Cauldron go;
In the poison'd Entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and Nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd Venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.
Ahhhh, 9th grade English all over again!
MacBeth was my favorite...
