In this raw and visceral adaptation, a Scottish nobleman’s ruthless ambition leads him to murder and treachery to claim the throne. Haunted by guilt and paranoia, he descends into madness as his grip on power unravels. This brutal, unflinching interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy emphasizes the darkness of human nature.
