The play begins with three witches who plan to meet Macbeth, and then it moves to a military camp. The Scottish King Duncan hears that his generals, Macbeth and Banquo, bravely defeated their enemies. Duncan orders the execution of the traitorous Thane of Cawdor and arranges for the Thane’s title to be passed to the valiant Macbeth. Through Macbeth, Shakespeare dramatizes the psychological and political impact of evil when used to satisfy ambition for power.

Tickets are available Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Farber Box office, Heritage Center; at 563.585.SHOW; or online at www.dbq.edu/heritagecenter.
