Watch Macbeth

This is an Australian contemporary version of the Shakespeare tragedy featuring an ambitious but impulsive gang member and his estranged wife. After a night of partying, Macbeth meets three young witches who predict that he will soon be leader of his gang, a position currently occupied by the powerful and popular Duncan. Once Lady Macbeth hears about the prophecy, she and her husband plan to eliminate Duncan and take power. Further complications arise and the chain of violence set in motion by Macbeth and his insane wife seemingly has no end. The language of the original play is masterfully retained even in the modern setting.
