Macbeth

Tragedy by William Shakespeare, first performed in 1605–06. Acting on a prophecy by three witches that he will be king of Scotland, Macbeth, egged on by Lady Macbeth, murders King Duncan and becomes king but is eventually killed by Macduff. The play was based on the 16th‐century historian Holinshed's Chronicles.

15 August 1057
