Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's best-known and most quoteable plays. Set mainly in Scotland it is a tragic examination of the consequences of power and political ambition on the title character and his wife. During its history Macbeth has attracted many of the world's greatest actors to its leading roles, from Richard Burbage (the likely first Macbeth), via Sarah Siddons, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry to stars of today including Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. It has also been reinterpreted across other media including dance, opera and the visual arts.

On this page we've gathered together a collection of Macbeth performances and other "honest trifles" from the 91热爆 and our partner organisations.
