The crown passes to Macbeth.The bloodied ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's conscience begins to torture her as they descend into slow madness... 

About:

Macbeth's tale is a despairing complaint about life: "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." But Paper Wing takes it up a notch...daring to tell the tale of this bloody masterpiece with a fresh and unique interpretation.

Macbeth is Shakespeare's profound and mature vision of evil. It is a play of contradiction and ambition. It is a play depicting destruction, wrestling with creation and a study of the disintegration and damnation of a man. And yet Macbeth is a tragic hero. Therein lies Shakespeare's art, evolving from a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature.
