'Stars, hide your fires!
Let not light see my black and deep desires.'
One of Shakespeare's darkest and most violent tragedies, Macbeth's
struggle between his own ambition and his loyalty to the King is
dramatically compelling. As those he kills return to haunt him, Macbeth
is plagued by the prophecy of three sinister witches and the power
hungry desires of his wife. William Shakespeare is widely regarded as
the greatest playwright the world has seen. He produced an astonishing
amount of work; 37 plays, 154 sonnets, and 5 poems. He died on 23rd
April 1616, aged 52, and was buried in the Holy Trinity Church,
Stratford.
