"Just in time for Halloween, the professional actors of Tennessee Shakespeare Company bring to life one of the Bard’s most macabre tragedies. Three witches tell the Scottish general Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth kills the king and usurps the throne. More deaths follow in the wake of Macbeth’s growing paranoia, and his barbarism ignites a civil war."
