Scotland, deep in the Middle Ages: After the general Macbeth returns victorious from the battlefield, he and his friend Banquo encounter three mysterious witches in a nearby forest. They predict a bright future for him, noble titles, and soon a kingship. Additionally spurred on by the blind ambition of his wife, who drives him to force the prophecy through violence, Macbeth soon murders the rightful king Duncan and casts suspicion on his sons, who then must flee abroad.

But scarcely is Macbeth king, that the tyrant fears even his closest confidants: thus he has his friend Banquo eliminated by two hired murderers. Yet Macbeth's bloodlust knows no bounds, and madness increasingly takes hold of the king-murderer's mind. He seeks the counsel of the witches once more, who prophesy that no man born of a woman can ever harm Macbeth. However, the counterstrike is already in full swing.

One of the greatest plays in world literature, William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" remains a valid metaphor for dictatorships around the world to this day. A highly suspenseful thriller of the highest class, and in the production by the Freiburg "Immoralists," the highlight of the upcoming theater season.
