Macbeth Is Not Hard

Send us Fan Mail

Macbeth is not hard. It’s human.
Here’s the whole play in one simple truth:
Macbeth made Macbeth.
Let me say that again:
The witches tempt. Lady Macbeth pressures. But Macbeth chooses.
They light matches all around him—but Macbeth decides to set the house on fire.
This story is not fate winning. This story is choice repeated until it becomes character.

HOST:
Here is Macbeth in five easy steps.
Temptation — an idea enters.
Choice — a line is crossed.
Habit — violence becomes a method.
Collapse — control breaks down.
Consequences — the bill comes due.

Temptation. Choice. Habit. Collapse. Consequences.

That’s the whole play. Now we’ll walk it.
